I have a problem with my laptop. I cannot seem to connect to my wireless router at home. I see the strong signal and put in the correct passkey, but all I see is "Acquiring network address." I had another laptop using a PCMCIA Wireless card and could not connect. So at first I assummed it was the router problem, then I just bought a brand new router.

Then it still doesnt work and gives me the same message. My brother laptop however works. The thing is that my laptop is newer than his. I have no idea what the problem is.

It just keeps trying to connect forever and forever, has that message "Acquiring network address."

I read on some posts that it could be a DHCP problem? I have no idea how to fix that.

Can someone help?

Thanks.
