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.:

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 !!!
Re: Wireless Router not assigning an IP address to my laptop.
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?

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.

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.

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.

What result? How was the Belkin configured? Did you try a public
hotspot (as I suggested)? Why didn't you answer my questions directly?
EXACT symptoms and messages please!

Guessing isn't helpful. "Assumption [is] the mother of all screwups."
You need to figure out which it is.

Not really. Sorry.

I was connected to the router and all was working fine when this
happened suddenly (status changed from 'Connected' to 'Limited / No
Connectivity'). Would that be possible if I was not connected to the
right SSID? In that case I can try re-configuring the router and
connecting again.

I've seen that happen during wireless startup -- basically Windows XP is
lying to you. It can also happen if and when DHCP lease renewal fails.

Re: Wireless Router not assigning an IP address to my laptop.
Anand,
As a workaround you can try setting up an Alternative configuration
with static IP address on your laptop, providing that you have
administrator privileges.

I tried doing that too. I set my statis ip as 192.168.2.100 (what the
router would have finally given me) and default gateway as
192.168.2.1. Only then am I able to connect to the router admin, else
even that is not possible.
But after this, there is no internet connection. The only place I am
able to connect to is the router admin.

I would try reloading or reinstalling the drivers for your wireless nic
card as well as getting the latest ".Net ...Framework" optional
software updates from Microsoft Windows Updates.....
