Wireless Router not assigning an IP address to my laptop.

Hi All,

I have a COMPUSA 54 MBPS wireless broadband router. I didn't have any
problems connecting to it till now.

Suddenly the connection on my laptop showed limited / no connectivity.
I was not able to connect to the admin opage of the router as well.

When I tried repairing it using the Windows option, it showed that the
router is unable to assign an IP to the laptop. So I went ahead and
manually configured an IP as 192.168.2.100 (same as the router would
have assigned in the usual case) and default gateway as 192.168.2.1.
When I did this, I was able to connect to the admin page of the
router, but then again it didn't help.

Right now I am connected to my Cable modem directly and its working
absolutely fine. So its not the modem thats an issue. Als since the
wireless adaptor shows full strength signal and tries to connect to
the router I am assuming that the hardware is not an issue. So I tried
to upgrade the firmware, but that didn't help too. Here's my ipconfig
output when connected to the wireless router. I get the same when I
connect to the ethernet cable through the router.:

I guess the DHCP has a problem on the router, but what can I do abt.
it. Can anyone help?

Assuming wi-fi LED or swith is turned on in your system, does your
router uses MAC filtering? If so disable it.

Router does not have any MAC filtering. Like I said, it was working
all fine and suddently died on me. I have even tried resetting the
settings and all. In vain !!!

1. See if your laptop will work with DHCP on a different wireless
network (e.g., public hotspot).

2. Try a different wireless router.

I tried that, but got the same response. My laptop doesn't find an IP
address through the DHCP of the router. Now I guess the problem is not
with my wireless router but with my wireless network card. I have a
Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Wireless card. Incidently, when I
checked the properties of the card, it shows a MAC address of
00-00-00-00-00-00. Is this normal ? Or has my network card flipped off
suddenly?

Anand.

Be sure you're not connecting to a different SSID instead of your
home's/office's. Check it. Check and enter security password
carefully. Good luck.

You tried what exactly? Your "that" is hopelessly vague.

Guessing is rarely effective. Try sacrificing small animals.

Using Intel software or Windows (WZC)?

Depends on how and when you checked it.

I tried connecting to a different wireless router (Belkin), but the
result was the same.

The wireless card driver was installed by Windows automatically. So I
guess it should be windows and not intel.

I checked the MAC at the properties window of te wireless card in
device manager. I uninstalled the device and added it again, so now it
shows a valid MAC, however my problem still persists.

Hope that give an idea of my problem.

Regards,
Anand.

That's all done successfully, else I would not be shown the Limited /
No Connectivity window for a wrong password / ssid.

Not necessarily. I can't parse exactly what you mean -- it would be
helpful if you didn't mash unrelated things together into too few words
-- but it's quite possible to get "limited connectivity" (which means
DHCP has failed) when connecting to the wrong SSID. If and only if (a)
the SSIDs are _unique_ and (b) you're getting a "connection" to the
correct unique SSID can you be sure you don't have an SSID issue.
