Hi all, I have Virgin Cable and old Terayon router ( awaiting replacement) plus have an old Linksys model BEFW11S4 ( prob 8+ years old?) . The wireless is now throwing up the follwing message....It seems to connect for a couple of minutes then drops off - is the answer simply a new wireless router needed? Any help greatly appreciated ..
Did not receive an IP address
The wireless adapter failed to get a valid IP address. The wireless security password or encryption key does not match the one used by the access point. Other causes are: the wireless network requires a static IP address; there is a problem with the DHCP server; or, a general network problem.

- Reenter the wireless security password in the network security settings. See [URL="mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Intel\Wireless\Help\wassist.chm::/Basic_Security.htm"]Personal Security[/URL].
