Hello,

I'm not very computer literate so please bear with me. I have a computer that was built by a friend of a friend and always worked beautifully. I have wireless and a secured network. All of a sudden my computer won't connect to my network, it either stays in the "acquiring network address" phase or says connected but "limited or no connectivity". It will however connect to a neighbors unsecured network with no problem. Both of my roommates have no problems connecting to our secured wireless network. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've tried rebooting EVERYTHING and don't know what else to try.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.12

Dear Sir,

I will advise you to re-install the Wireless LAN driver again,

Then if this doesn't work,

Try renewing your IP

Press Start > Run > Type: CMD

Then type: ipconfig /release

when the IP address is release

Type: ipconfig /renew

Thanks
