1 pc can't get the gatway, but gets IP address

I have 3 PC's. I'm using a netgear wireless router (G type), and all
netgear adapters (2 pc's with usb adapters & 1 w/ card). I turned off
B, I set it to long preamble, WPA-PSK (TKIP), and I'm getting a good
signal on all 3 PC's.

But 1 PC has an issue in that it gets an IP address, but no gateway.
The signal in the netgear utility looks fine. The windows wireless
icon says the connection is good (sometimes very good). Its using the
same netgear USB adapter as my other computer.

I tried doing ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew, but it still
doesn't find the gateway. It gets an IP address, but some issue with
dhcp in that it can't get the gateway. Could it be a BIOS issue?
Thanks for helping

Do you have a software firewall (or XP firewall) running on the machine
in question? Try with that disabled. Also, try switching adapters between
the two machines that use the same type ... see if the issue follows the
adapter, or stays with the computer.

What address? 169. something? Similar to the others?

No.

It might be a card config issue tho. ?Make sure all the PCs network card
and TCP settings are identical.
