Its because there is secuitry on your network. Go to
192.168.1.1 for Linksys routers/gateways
192.168.0.1 for Netgear routers/gateways
But do this on a wire connection to the router/gateway then enter your username and password then goto Wireless secuitry and see what WEP/WPA(2) key or passphase is then enter that into the wireless system. -
hmmm im not very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff so i dont really know what you mean. i already have my WEP key. i'm actually connected to the network, it jsut says "limited or no connectivity - you might not be able to access the internet or some network resources. thiis problem occurred because the network did not assign a network addrss to the computer"
so i guess i need to know how to make the network assign a netwrk address to the computer. -

Some routers/gateways have a time limit on wireless secuitry.WEP key. Like every 2 days. however you with still be connected to the said network but the ip address will be different.
-
hmm...i dont think thats the problem because i used the original wep key to connect with this computer.

Is the computer you are using at the mmonment wireless. Stupid question but you could be connected to the router/gateway with wires.

What is the IP address of the router/gateway. By the way that is the internal IP address and no-one from the Internet can see that. Linksys is 198.168.1.1 and Netgear is 192.168.0.1.
