My computer (that has always connected to the wireless network has suddenly stopped connecting. It sees the network, but won't take an IP address from it. It's not the network as two other systems are connecting without an issue. Nothing was changed. Any ideas?

I have tried rebooting the router and modem and release/renew. I even put in an IP address, gateway, etc. manually and it still will not connect to the router.

I would ask the company from which you have the computer about the IP address.
Otherwise, I would go to
start
connect to
show all connections
than go under network trouble shooter
fallow all directions. If that does not help perhaps you have a clitch in your wireless system. Hope this helps!

I am seeing a lot of this problem lately. The quick fix is to check the range of addresses allocated by the router and then set the offending card's address just outside that range. Set the router address manually, the dns can normally be set to the router address as the router offers a proxy dns. I am beginning to suspect that under XP some small changes due to updates are making the wireless cards upredictable. In most cases if you test with encryption off they work, but you can not afford to risk being open.

Sounds very much like the wireless card is the culprit. Can you try another one?
Did the router block you out because of new security, MAC address filtering?
Is it your router or someone else's?

Right Click on your Wireless Icon and choose view available wireless networks (im assuming your using windows wireless software and not a third party) From this screen click on changed advanced settings - From this screen click on the wireless networks tab - Clear ALL of the preferred networks - Click OK, then OK again - Try to connect again...

Try unplugging your modem/router for 30 secs and try again and reboot your computer

start --> run. type cmd (hit enter)
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
it will force it to find a new IP Address
