seems this is a hopeless case !

Its using a WAP, and yes its correct

i have been busy for the past week but eventually got time to hardwire the PC into the router, and it works perfectly. . this is starting to get very irritating, does anybody have any other ideas ? how do i check if the dhcp server will give out more than 2 addresses ? PS. the drivers are updated,

wouln't say thats it, the router is downstairs, PC is upstairs, good distance between them, but it still gets a strong signal

DHCP is enabled on the router, why is it that the new PC cant find it ? the laptop works wirelessly in the same location as the PC thats not working.

Hey, i've been trying to fix a problem with my home network for the past few days with little success. Heres the problem: I have 3 computers (2 PCs and a Laptop) my main PC is hardwired to the router, and the laptop is using a wireless card. The internet and network are working fine on these 2. I have a new computer which is using a wireless card and heres where the problem begins. The PC has excellent signal strength and is connecting to the network, but it is not recieving any information, i.e. its not working ! When i have network settings set to automatically detect IP address's, i get the limited or no connectivity error. It appears its not able to pick up the correct address. I have entered the IP address in manually,the limited or no connectivity error goes and it says it is connected, but it is still not recieving any information (packets) Any help on how i can correct this IP madness is much appreciated. Here is IPCONFIG on all 3 computers The PC thats not working Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.220.118 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : The PC that is working Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.169.1.120 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.169.1.1 The Laptop which is working Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.169.1.140 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.169.1.1
