    Yeah. Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't matter now because I have a linksys.

    The new D-link model needs to be tested more. It is too faulty.

    go to run and type the command cmd this will bring up the command menu typing only then typ the command route print just like that this will tell you your gateway, subnet mask and ip address assuming that you have one. do this and let me know what each one is it may be a problem with the router does it have a built in firewall. i know that may cause a problem

    I'll not bother with the dribble the others did, just simple couple of things to try.
    Update the driver for the wireless adapter, update the firmware for the router(even if you bought it yesterday, it prolly sat on a store shelf for six months)
    Try performing a release and renew of the IP while it says it is connected. Start>Run>CMD, then type "ipconfig /release" hit enter and wait for it to bring you to a prompt again, then type "ipconfig /renew" and wait for an error msg, this will give us a bit more of an idea what is going on. There are errors that can narrow it down a bit.

    Also be sure to double check firewalls(yes, some can interfere with getting an IP if configured incorrectly) Could also be encryption causing the problem.

    StormBringer, trust me, I have tried EVERYTHING you suggested 10 times over and have tried EVERY configuration possible. The router is BROKEN!

    Anyways, I returned the router and got Linksys. Hopefully it will not cause any problems.

    Ok ok. Relax Kevin. You don't need to 'shout'.

    According to your messages, I can say you don't like this brand (D-Link) and you want to replace it with another brand? It's up to you.

    By the way, does your D-link has warranty? You can take it to the supplier for service. It's free under warranty. If they charge you then teach them about warranty rules and also advise the boss to carefully choose a right employee next time. No I'm not kidding.

    *DELETED* Nope, not a good idea to say that

    Its kind of moot at this point, but doesn't the 624 have a SuperG mode, which can double the speed of the G band? This feature only works with cards also capable of it, and sometimes causes problems with cards that don't support the feature. To correct this problem, you have to turn off the SuperG.

    I know its of no use now that you have a different router, but that feature can sometimes cause those symptoms and this may be helpful to someone in the future.

    Yeah I'm sure my card supports it. That's why I bought it.

    My card is a D-link AirPlus.
