Hi everyone,
First post here, so thought I'd start off with a problem.
I recently bought a wireless USB adaptor (Netgear WG111T), and followed the instructions. However, I can't connect to the internet. In the bottom right hand corner of my screen, my wireless icon shows the following message:
Limited or no connectivity
The problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer.
I've checked on the properties for my connection and it's set to find the IP address automatically and the DNS server automatically as well.
A friend of mine told me I have to manually set my IP address and DNS server details...?
I'm running Windows XP Home with SP2 if that's of any relevance. I don't have any such problem with my wired connection.
Has anyone else run into this problem, and do you have a solution?
These settings were in place for my wireless set up:
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Auto configuration: Yes
Auto config IP Address: 169.254.184.174
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: [blank]
DNS Server: [blank]
WINS Server: [blank]
I've already reset my router (BT Voyager 2110) to its factory settings and started over again, but it hasn't worked. Nothing wrong with my adaptor either. I took it to a friend's house and it worked fine with his PC and net connection.
If anyone has an idea what these setting mean, or if anything's wrong, please let me know. I'm about a couple more attempts away from calling BT to get a new phone line installed upstairs.
Many thanks
