I still have this problem while using wireless connection.

It happens due to low signal strength ... which mean u r out of the range of the closet wireless router around u ... this can be solved by either getting into the network range and thereby getting a stronger signal strength or else you can try connecting to some other network that showing up good signal strength at the place where u r seated ...
tha other possibility also could be that the DHCP server is unable to allocate an IP address to u ... due to the shortage of IP addresses that are in its list to be located ... equivalent to more people connected to the network than it can handle
Enjoy !

There may be a few things that could be your problem: 1. Your wireless router has a MAC filter on, you must include your MAC address/Physical address on the MAC filter list. 2. Your wireless card doesn't receive the type of wireless internet your router broadcasts, make sure they are compatible. Check which 802.11 standard the router uses and your laptop picks up. 3. Your router is set to not broadcast its SSID. When you search for a wireless gateway to connect to, what your searching for is the gateways' SSID. This feature is used to prevent people from seing that you have a wireless connection (out of sight out of mind). You can set your router to broadcast it again by going into the routers settings. 4. This is the easiest (and hopefully is your) problem to solve, if you bought an HP laptop, most of them have a wireless button above the keyboard. This button must be pressed in order to use your wireless connection. Its a security feature by HP. Keep in mind there are also possibilities of defective equipment as well, just keep your fingers crossed that your warranty will cover such an issue. I hope this helped and you figure out what the problem is! Good Luck!

Can you still connect to the internet even with that message? I sometimes get that message when using wireless but still can connect to the internet. Could be a bug.

If you are using Singnet wireless broadband, you can download a program call SMARTFIX from Singnet's website. This is a new diagnostic software that helps you check and solve your internet's speed problem.

If they are far apart, get a unit to go between them to extend the range. Or, if you can, move units closer (or remove obsticles) for a stronger signal. If you have a wireless 'g' unit, sometimes bumping it down to "b" will be ok.
Or, if money is not tight, get one of the newer long range 'n' units and computer cards.

unplugg your wireless modem wait 10 seconds.plug in back in...check all connections including phone modem etc.
check your firewall could be blocking it. It could be as simply as changing some settings and you may need to take it to a computer proffesssional.if none of these you wil need to call the company of your wireless modem..maybe its faulty

This sometimes pops up when you are connected to a hotspot using a firewall such as Sonicwall at Panera's. The easiest way to solve this problem is to go to a different hotspot.

check your signal strength.
