Here's the problem: When I try to connect to the internet on my user side it says: This connection has limited or no connectivity. You might not be able to access the Internet. To fix this problem click the box.
I clicked on the box and it said this: This problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer. So I clicked repair and a box popped up with the heading: Repair Wireless Network Connection
I waited and it popped up with this: Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed - renewing your IP address
Can anyone advise me(walk me through)of how to fix this problem so that I can access the Internet from my user side?

Right now I have a GeForce 7600 GS (256mb, 560mhz, 1400mhz, pci-e), but I'm thinking about getting the 8600 GTS, which is 256mb, 540mhz, 1400mhz, and pci-e, but it has 32 pixel pipelines opposed to the 7600 GS which has only 12. Even though the 8600 GTS that i want to get has slightly slower clock speeds, but more pixel pipelines, will I see a large performance increase? I'd be using it to play Halo 2, Flight Simulator, and Age of Empires.

With all of the cookies and spyware out there, don't you think that Bush and the government monitor your internet activity and even tap into your computer? I am guessing they have developed impressive spyware that is not detectable by commercial products. It wouldn't surprise me if it is even disguised as a software update, and that you have even consented to using it when you pushed the "I agree" button.
