internet connection problem.

[robbie27]

Hi all,
I run a Intel wireless card : Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Net

Basically the problem is; I connect to a wireless modem fine where i work which requires a WEP key.
Now when i come home m laptop wont connect at all from a Belkin wireless router which has no security on it.

Before i started working i could connect fine to to my home wireless.

My card picks up the connection fine and 'connects' however after a few mins it says theres a problem. Repair says cannot renew IP. IP=169...... It also says 'Limited or No Connectivity' on the desktop.

I have tried to switching modem on and off, re-installing card software and switching cpu on and off. Still no luck.


Any help would be great, thanks guys!!
