Here's the current issue:I have a few year old Toshiba Satelite Laptop with Windows XP SP3. I recently took it from my office where it was on the internet via ethernet cable into the living room where I tried to connect to my wireless internet. It would connect, but says it has "limited or no connectivity." I can connect perfectly fine to my neighbor's wireless internet, my wife has the exact same computer as me and connect to both our wireless internet and the neighbor's, and there is definitely no problem with the signal strength. I ran ipconfig and this is what it tells me:Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : gateway.2wire.net IP Address . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.64 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 225.225.225.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.254.204.90 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 225.225.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :When I just go into the connection information and hit "Repair," it tells me that "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action could not be completed: Renewing your IP address."Also, I don't know if it matters, but I have AT&T DSL service with an AT&T 2Wire Gateway. If anybody has any thoughts or ideas that might help me out, please let me know. Thanks 1 person needs an answerI do too

HiWhen you connect to the other open network it start from scratch and establishes a new valid connection.When you try to connect to your Wireless Router, there is a strange mismatch.This is Not a local IP that can allow connection to a wireless Router.IP Address . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.254.204.90Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 225.225.0.0It probably has to do with the way the laptop connects in your office.You have to provide more info about the configuration of the office and home connection (Group vs. Domain, open vs secure, SSID)You can also try to look at the Wireless card proffered list and clean out all the entries from, and try starting with clean configuration.http://www.ezlan.net/wireless/wzc3.jpg Jack-MVP Windows Networking.

Sorry, I maybe should have been more clear about that. The connection in my office is also at my home. The office connection I was talking about is simply an ethernet cable into the 2Wire Gateway instead of accessing the internet wirelessly. As far as more information, the authentication is open with WEP encription. I checked all of those settings against my wife's computer and all that is the same. If you could tell me what other information might be helpful to try to get this problem solved, I'll give you whatever you need. Thanks

Well, I don't know what was wrong, but I got it working now. I just uninstalled and reinstalled any software or drivers or anything that had anything to do with wireless internet and now it is all working fine.

HiMany of us do not realize that Computers are Dynamic machines (you know one day in the future day they suppose to take over the World from us) (^_^) - (*_*).Changes occurs even more with Broadband Internet connection that interact fast, without us even knowing, with Codes and Scripts that are deposit on our system by the sites that we are visiting.I.e., during the passage of time something was changed in the Network related software, or and its configuration, re-installing solved the problem. \(^_^)/ Jack-MVP Windows Networking.
