Hi

A couple of months ago, I bought my dd a laptop. We bought a BT Voyager 2500V wireless router also. She was able to get onto the internet no problem.

A couple of weeks ago, she tried to log onto internet. The following appeared:
"Limited or no connectivity. You might not be able to access the internet or some network resources. This problem occured because the network did not assign a network address to the computer." She clicked on repair. It then said, "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Renewing your IP address. For assistance, contact the person who manages your network."
My husband is still able to log onto his wireless laptop.
I would be very grateful for any advice. :D

    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.
