Laptop stuck on "Identifying" network
I've got a Dell Studio laptop running Windows 7 that I'm trying to get onto a wireless network with a Quest DSL ("Actiontec") modem. I can see and "connect" to the network fine, but in the Network and Sharing Center, it's stuck "Identifying" the network, so I can't get online. My NIC is a Dell wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-card, showing no errors in device manager. My IPv4 is set to obtain IP address and DNS server address automatically. My TCP/IPv6 is set to obtain IPv6 address and DNS server address automatically. When I run an ipconfig /all, my: IPv6 address is fe80::c8a5:4afb:22b7:d165%16 IPv4 address is 169.254.209.101 Default gateway is blank DNS suffix is blank The modem does NOT have MAC address filtering on. The modem has all green lights and CAN access the internet with another desktop, which is how I'm posting this. Please help! Thanks!
