Hello,

I'm unable to connect wirelessly to the internet at home on my laptop anymore, but another computer in my house is. We have a NETGEAR router, and I am connected right now through an Ethernet cable to my router. When I try to connect wirelessly, I can see that the network is detected and the signal strength is very good, but it always fails to connect because "IP address not assigned". confused1.gif

I tried doing the "ipconfig /all" thing and this is what it says:

What can I do to fix my wireless connection? I would really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks so much!!
