Acquiring Network Address.......
 

Hey people,

Looking for a bit of assistance. Went to take a look at a laptop today and set up the wireless networking on it.
It is a Fulitsu Siemens L1310G and the router is a Negear WGT624 V2.

I am able to connect wirelessly without any encryption but the minute I enable WEP or WPA-PSK and set a passphrase and try to connect the Windows Wireless networking utility just loops on "Aquiring network address" & "Automatic" therefore never obtaining one.
I appreciate that these lower end netgear routers are not up to scratch but surely a basic task such as this should be pretty easy.

Anyone any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem...

Does your laptop just sit there getting an address and then says Limited Connectivity???

If so, i had the same problem... try reinstalling the wireless card drive :)

If your Internet Service provides a secure wireless connection to
internet ,only then you should enable the WEP(Wireless Encryption
Protocol) in the wireless network properties otherwise keep it disabled.

I hope this helps

Do a simple check @ the router...make sure the internet (cat5) cable is plugged properly into the back of the router internet port or check the wireless properties in the TCP/IP and make sure it is configured to DHCP...

cheers.
