Hi,
I'm trying to connect my XP SP1 computer to a gateway router (dell wireless 2350).
I've tried both a Netgear wg311t wireless adapter and a Dell Wireless 1450 USB adapter
Installation works fine on both, and the connection monitors claims to be connected to the network (I've tried letting both windows and the adapter software "be in charge") . But when checking the status of the connection, under "Adress type" it says "invalid IP adress", and the IP adress and subnet mask are both 0.0.0.0
When trying to repair the connection the error reads something like "Can't renew IP-adress. Failed to empty DNS (...)" and so on (translated from norwegian).
The (stationary) comp's fairly new, still hasn't been connected to the internet, runs no AV and is set to receive ip and dns server adress automatically.
There are three other XP computers connecting with the same Dell Wireless 1450 USB adapters and no problems, plus a number of different laptops with different cards, also without problems.
I'm thinking it might be some kind of compatibility issue, but I've removed Nero a TV card (Pinnacle) and all other apps that could be interfering.
I've also cleaned the registry.
I'm completely lost as to what to do- PLEASE HELP!!!
thanks,
Vegar
