"Limited or no connectivity" - wireless

[kilkerr1]

Hi all. This is driving me to drink. I have had a wireless home network for about a year now, with no problem, am using a Belkin modem/router plugged into desktop PC (Win XP SP2) and one laptop. My laptop could always connect perfectly, but died 2 weeks ago. So I bought a new one, all set up for wireless. On setting the laptop up for my old wireless network, it 'finds' about 5 unsecured wireless networks - neighbours, etc. - and mine, which is secured (WEP). Fine. So I get it to connect to mine, which is does, but says "Limited or no connectivity" and I can't get on the Web. I have tried using the 'repair' feature, but it says it can't complete it because it is unable to assign an IP. I have tried connecting to various of the neighbours' unsecure networks (just to test, see if network card etc. functioning OK), and this works fine, I can get on the web with these other networks. It's only my network which doesn't work. Nothing has changed with my router for the past 2 weeks since my old laptop bit the dust. I have tried the XP bug fix, the registry fix, etc. as posted in the sticky FAQ on this forum, but this doesn't work. I have turned off power to everything - laptop, PC, router, kitchen sink - and rebooted many times, no luck. I also had a go setting a static IP address on the laptop, but this didn't work either (not actually positive I did it right anyway..! But something changed, as in a little balloon appeared in my icon tray saying I was now connected to the network...but still no Web access). Oh, and I also tried using ipconfig refresh/renew, which also didn't work (tho' it also told me I hadn't typed it right, so I'm not sure what I did there). If anyone can help me I'd be most grateful, I'm really beginning to lose it now. Many thanks, K

Hi kilkerr1, I know your thread is from a little while ago, but anyways, I just moved to an apartment, and I just bought a new laptop, it's a Hp pavilion entertainment and had windows xp sp2 installed. I have just the same problem you did; there is a wireless network with a router for the people who live in this floor, and everyone else gets to connect, but i can't. The signal strenght is normal, and it goes to really high if im next to the router, but it still shows the message of limited or no connectivity. I'm able to connect to other wireless unsecured networks that sometimes appear, but not to the one that i want, i've tried everything, from changing the ip adress and the winsock xp fix, to the renew in the ipconfig/all, tried unplugging the router and it won't work. I would really appreciate if you, or anyone could help, because I really need to use <internet for school. I read that you changed something about proxies, but I really have NO idea, of what to do.
Thanx
