    im a HP notebook user and run Vista Business SP1 on it. I hav never really faced a prob connecting to the network. But lately wen i tried connectin 2 the net using my wireless Dlink router somehow i wasnt gettin an IP assigned to my comp and an autoIP was bein assigned. So i manually assigned the required IP and stil the prob din resolve. I connected 2 my router using a wire even then i cud not connect to my network. So i tried connectin my comp to my friends router, the same problem occured again. a dynamicIP was not bein assigned and even after i manually assigned the IP it wasnt workin. this is strange because my comp was workin fine before yest. Also i hav a PC runnin XP which is connectin to the router fine. Any idea what might be the prblem guys? really looking forward to some help

    As a place to start, try shutting down the firewall if you're running one.

    You tried updating the firmware on your router?

    Is DHCP enabled on your router?

    Have you rebooted the router?

    If you run the ipconfig /all cmd does every thing come back 0.0.0.0?

    If you have Symantic installed you must un-install it. It does not no what disable means.
