    I have a D-link access Point connected to my desktop pc using an Ethernet cable and a laptop with Belkin wireless notebook network card in it, the Laptop is connecting to the desktop pc ok, great signal etc, but gives me a warning message that there is limited connectivity as the network did not assign a network address to the computer! how do I get it to do this ?

    Sounds like there is no DCHP server.

    Try using a static IP address like 192.168.0.20

    does you router handle dhcp ?

    What way does your desktop get its Ip adress

    On the laptop press "start" then "run" type "ipconfig /all" check the nic has a ip adress.
