limited or no connectivity

[mcw1878]

Hi new member here so apologies if this is a topic covered by earlier threads!

I have a belkin modem/router wireless router which has worked fine up until now. The problem is that my Daughters laptop has stopped receiving/picking up the assigned ip address from the router and is allocating a 169... address and then coming up with the limited or no connectivity message.

I think the issue must be with the configuration of the laptop although I don't know what has prompted the change. All other PCs & PS3 still work fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

ps all running xp sp2

Cheers.

Hi also try this right click on connection icon the one that say limited or no connection select repair see if it windows sorts it out .

Dont let windoze do anything. Set up your network with manually assigned IPs and passwords. You may be getting a strong signal from another wireless network that is assigning a different IP to the laptop.

go into your router settings and change the channel from 11 to 2 you may be getting interfearence from somthing like a cordless phone or someone elses wireless network
