Can not get an IP address

I am having trouble getting a wireless connection. The radio is on, has good
signal strength, but will not comminucate with the router. I can not seem to
get it to assign an IP address.

Everything worked until I tried to install a Bluetooth card, but now it does
not. I have since removed the bluetooth card and restored the system state
prior to the installation.

I have done all of the usual stuff:
update drivers / reinstall old drivers that worked before,
reset all of the settings,
reset the Linksys Wireless router
used the winsock fix
used the LSP fix
Used the netsh fix
and reset/renewed the IPconfig many times

I even physically removed the wireless card, removed all of the software,
cleaned the registry and reinstalled everything all with the same results -
the radio works, finds the router, connects, but will not assign a IP
address. The router works fine with the cable.

I have a IBM Thinkpad T30, Intel/IBM - internal wireless card, Windows XP
Pro, Linksys WRT54G-v6 router

How do I get the router to assign an IP?

Have you gone into the WRT54G and disabled the wep/wap and tried to connect?
Generally when the wireless doesn't work this is your best step one. Your
description strongly suggest to me that you have a security issue.

I forgot to post that.

I have disabled all of the security on both the router and the laptop. I
have used the default settings, as well as opening up everything I could find
and trying again. At this point I am baffled as to why it is not working.

Hi
Could be that the Bluetooth created a conflict, and after New installation
the original utility or some other wireless related stuff, got loaded again
and it competes with WZC.
Check these pages may be something would popup that you did not paid
attention to.
