Hi, I am new to this forum, but I have a problem,and I don't know how to fix it. I recently bought a D-Link DI-504 router so that I could connect my laptop and my other computer to the internet at the same time. The Desktop is working perfectly, but the laptop keeps giving me the Limited or No Connectivity message. Also, the laptop fails to acquire the correct IP Address. I have tried the SP2 fix as well as WinXPsock, ip/release and ip/renew, checked the cables. My network card is a Broacom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller. Any idea what the problem is? I don't want to have to buy an external network card, but is that the next step?
