| 832681 | 2009-11-23 06:31:00 | Hey my parents Acer Travelmate 800 laptop with built in wireless has suddenly stopped getting an ip address from the router (which is the DHCP server). Yet all my other laptops on the same wireless network all get addresses. What could be going wrong? |

| 832685 | 2009-11-23 08:50:00 | would the driver really be causing the laptop to not get an ip address? It use to work right until about last week |

| 832686 | 2009-11-23 19:26:00 | I assume you are connecting to the access point ok and it says connected? If yes go to a command prompt and try "Ipconfig /release" then "Ipconfig /renew" It still no go reset the IP stack. From a Command Prompt "netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt" |
