My LAN & Wireless connection, once connected, still shows the acquiring network address icon, even in the status. But I can use the internet, ip address shows. Anyone know how can this be resolved?
Thanx
Wireless LAN - Intel 2200BG
LAN - Broadcom 10/100

This is a windows issue. It happens to me sometimes (not too often) on my N6010 (Atheros wireless and Broadcom wired) and on my sony laptop (linksys wireless and intel wired). But for me it eventually after a few minutes realizes that it's connected and displays the correct icon.

Mine just say acquring forever.. I can use the internet thou, now i'm using windows wireless client. and removed some of the adapter and service not not needed, seems to work fine.. weird, probably problem with intel's wireless pro/set client.

I have noticed this with wireless Internet connection too.
But after messing around with some settings, it does go away. Go to the "wireless connection properties" and under the "Wireless Network" tab, select the SSID you are connected to, and click on properties.
This will bring up a new options console and select the "Authentication" Tab. Make sure the check box next to "Enable IEEE 802.1x ...." is unchecked. And that seems to have fixed the problem for me, and a few other notebooks that had that problem. -
I have the same problem whenever my P7010D comes out of standby or similar. However, doesn't disabling that checkbox hurt your overall network security?

OK, what i did was go into properties. wait one second, and clicked ok.. then it changed to connected. try it
