Hi everyone.
I just bought a NETGEAR 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall WGT624 v3. I set up everything correctly (set up on my desktop), and everything seems to be working fine. The problem is, my laptop can't connect . I connect to the network, then it says "limited or no connectivity". The wireless card is built in. The wireless network requires a WEP key, and I entered it on my laptop. Once in a while I can connect and use the internet for about 20 seconds, then it disconnects again . I checked the details and it said "This problem occured because the network did not assign a network address to the computer." Could this have to do with anything? My laptop and desktop aren't in a network, if that what it means. When I try to repair the connection, it says "Could not renew your IP address". What can I do? Please help me before I have to return this thing.
Oh yeah... I previously had a different NETGEAR wireless router installed. The 11 Mbps MR814 v3. It's disabled and disconnected, but it still apppears on my laptop's wireless network list (I've refreshed, but it's almost always there). Could this be a problem?
EDIT: Just to clarify... My laptop can always connect to the wireless network, but it just says "limited or no connectivity". I can't access the internet at all.
