Thanks johnwill for the reply!
->The DHCP Client Service is running and its startup service is automatic.
->I have turned off & restarted the computers, router & other network connected devices in the NW.
->I have searched from the net but i didn’t get any valid link for Ralink Wireless Card Drivers (it is installed though, just wanted the latest update), can u please help me with any URL if u know any, thanks.
->The NIC is working properly since I can connect to the internet with a LAN Cat5 cable.

Today, I noticed some new symptoms. The PC is detecting several available wireless networks in range (they are all not encrypted & the signal is very low). The office wireless network (which is encrypted, TKIP) isn't connecting to some machines but there are a few PCs which are connected and function properly. When I try to connect to the office wireless NW, it connects for some seconds then disconnects. When it connects to it for some seconds, it keeps on stating 'Acquiring Network Address' but to no avail.
Please advice further. Thanks.
