Hello all. My wireless router died and I had to purchase a new one this weekend and install. It works perfectly for my hardwired desktop and my desktop with a wireless card. However, my laptop which has integrated wireless is unable to connect successfully. It says it's connected and shows good signal strength, but I'm unable to access the internet. I have it setup to automatically assign ip address. It appears it's not getting the ip address assigned from the router.. instead of a 192.xxx ip address, it shows a 168.xx ip address. I tried hardcoding one but that doesn't work either. I previously had a Microsoft wireless router and the laptop worked fine with it. The new one is by Belkin. I have WEP 128bit encryption set up. Any ideas?
