wireless network connecting problems
i've got the connection connected
it's sending packet data
it's reciving packet data
but it's not connecting to the internet because it's still at the "acquiring network address" stage
and there are 2 lines for the ip address which say 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0
whats wrong?
i've put all the details i need in, i've got the connection, why won't it connect?
i can't even put in a manual ip address into the bar anywhere but i can connect to next door neighbours laptop and see what he's got on his system
help

try this
click run and type services.msc
scroll down the list until you reach 'wireless zero configuration'
right click and go to properties
either click start or restart, which ever u see
and the startup type should be set as automatic
if that does work and ill have another think
click run and type services.msc
scroll down the list until you reach 'wireless zero configuration'

Sounds like an encyrption issue. Make sure your wifi on the unit that doesnt work is compatable with the encryption of the router eg unit only supports wep and router is on wpa.
Id turn off the encyrption (on the router)for a minute, try to connect, if it works then try it on wep, then move higher to wpa etc.
good luck.

Did you do the age old reboot before trying anything else?
i.e. turn router off for 3 minutes, turn machine off, turn router on allow it to re-initialise then boot up machine.

the thing is, the laptop was workign fine when my brother had it a few months ago
since then, i've connected the same laptop to teh same system and it just fails
i can easily turn everything off tonight and start it up again in the morning, but what does this wep and wpa stuff means?

my advice would be to disable all security on the router aswell aswell at least for the moment, i use a wireless dongle with seperate software so my advice would be to re install that but urs will be set in the laptop so let us know how u get on with other peoples suggestions first

the battry's gone flat so it'll have ot wait till tomorrow now
but the ip address of this computer and the laptop are the same (i'm not sure if they should or not seeing as they are different computers but running off the same connection) so that's that sorted out
the ip address is nothng like 192.168.1.1 though
it 2 numbers.3 numbers.3 numbers.2 numbers

Are you with SKY? You can get your Netgear router information from http://192.168.0.1/ , username ADMIN and password SKY. Don't know if you know already?
