Sorry for the delay, I was gone for a few days. And, thanks to you two, twig123 and eyeball, it's up and running. It seems that the only connection I was showing was for the ethernet connection. For some odd reason the wireless connection had disappeared. What I ended up doing was dragging the computer downstairs and physically connecting it to the internet. Once I did that, the computer looked for and found the driver that were missing from the Linksys wireless connection. I appreciate the help, I've learned a lot. Great job.

I did as you said, but still no go. My laptop static address ends in a 101, so I tried 102, then 2 and 3. I thought this problem was going to be an easy fix. I do have a connection icon and it says I'm connected, but zero bytes being transfered. I tried to disable it, it's not the icon that came with the wireless router, but it won't let me disable, it says it's being used by something else. Do you think there's a chance? Thanks.

I really feel bad because I did it again just to make sure and yes I had a typo, it should have been 254 and not 251. Please accept my apology as the last thing I want to do is to give improper information therefore making someone go through an unneeded process. Given that, what's next? I do get an icon on the bottom right of the screen saying I'm connected by 0 bytes are being transfered.

Sounds like we might be getting somewhere. No I haven't, not sure how to do this. Is this something you can assist me with?

When I type just ipconfig itself, this is what shows up Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Connection specific DNS Suffix .: Autoconfiguration IP Address . . : 169.251.101.152 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . . . :

When I type in ipconfig /renew and then return, nothing happens

Hi, We are wireless with 4 computers, all running on XP. About two weeks ago, one of the desktops lost it's connection, the others are running fine. I've tried a few things but nothing is working. I tried to refresh the IP address using a guide from my provider site. When I typed in the CMD and ipconfig/release I did get 0.0.0.0 but when I typed in ipconfig/renew nothing happens. I tried using Microsoft troubleshooting idea and it tells me that the IP is not refreshing. The techs from my provider seem to think that its a network software problem and that I need to contact Microsoft. I'm hoping someone here can tell me or send me something to fix this problem Any ideas would be appreciated.
