Can't connect (difficulty acquiring network address)

Hello all, sometimes when I turn on my laptop (compaq presario) I have
problem to connect to (wireless) router, when I go to my network places I see
that connection is acquiring network address and it's stuck there. However
when I right click on the connection and click on repair Windows will connect
in few seconds. Sometimes however when I start the computer connection is
established ok. Thanks for all replies / ideas. Note: I have stup my wireless
connection with static IP addres as I have a port forwarded on the router).
It seems to me that when I change it to dynamic IP address the problem goes
away. Could this it be?

Hi
Make sure that your static IP is not in the range of the Router's DHCP.
Or switch off the DHCP in the Router if you are not using it.

Hi
You can use static IP as long as it not within the dynamic range.
E.g., if the Router is set to provide dynamic IP from 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.50 you have to use a static IP that is above 192.168.1.50
