For now, just sign off, reboot your laptop, sign back on and see if the problem is fixed.

If you type ipconfig/all, does it list the wireless network connection now?

The 169.x.x.x address indicates that communication with the DHCP server in the router has failed and Windows has assigned a default IP address. The IP address should be 192.168.1.x

From a command prompt, type:

ipconfig /release

and then:

ipconfig /renew

If that doesn't fix it, try downloading and running WinsockXPFix.exe

thanks again,did all that and it still does not connect,at the bottom where all icons are (clock etc) it shows a little comp screen and it says im connected ,but still does not go onto the internet with that connection...its so irritating as i can see it. :mad:

On your PC, go into the router's web configuration and confirm that wireless security is disabled (Low or none), broadcast SSID is on, and Access Control List is disabled or empty. What is the SSID (Network name) set to?

The ipconfig results indicate that you're using the Winbond wireless adapter. In Network Connections, right-click Wireless Network connection, and click Properties. On the General tab, what does it say in the Connect using box? It should have the Winbond adapter there.

On the Wireless Networks tab, make sure that 'Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings' is ticked. In Preferred networks, click your Speedtouch network and click Properties. Post all the settings shown on the Association tab.

If you're saying that the wireless security settings on your laptop are the same as your router (i.e. no security), I'm not sure what to try next.

Turn off Windows firewall and any other firewalls on your laptop.

Try disabling the Winbond wireless adapter and use the Speedtouch 121g adapter instead. Install it using the Home Install wizard on the CD.
