I cannot connect to my network: I can send packets, not recieve

[ir0n_ma1den]

I have been posting my problem on other forums but to no avail. Here is what I know so far:

I recently bought and installed an EW-7128g PCI wireless card, but I have not been able to connect to any network so far.

In hopes of getting it to work I set my network settings to no security and it still won't connect. The weird thing is that it detects my network and I am getting anywhere form 99-100% signal strength. I have no clue how to fix this problem.

I changed the channel and set my network to no security/encryption and now I am connected, but...

when I go into my browser, I cannot connect to any website. Looking at my network status I see that I am sending packets but not receiving

Here is something else I found out. When I give my computer a static ip and dns it will connect but I cannot access any website. If I let it auto configure ip and dns then it will go to acquiring network address and then I will get the "limited or no connectivity".

I can send but not receive packets.

I have a D-link Dir-615 router. I'll check but I am pretty sure I have the latest firmware. I do have the latest drivers for my network card. My speed setting is probably auto because I do not know how to change that.

When it says I am connected, I am using a static ip (192.168.0.100), but when I use an auto assigned ip i get limited or no connectivity.

I have turned my firewall off.

In my router settings I added a DHCP reservation for my computer.


If you need any more information just ask

thanks

How far away from the router is the PC?

[ir0n_ma1den]

Its one level below me but it is directly beneath the computer. distance is not the problem b/c I have had other, weaker adapters pickup signal.

If there are no yellow ? in the device manager under network adapters I would RMA it.

I found that when I let DHCP assign my IP address it starts with 169, so does that narrow down the problem?

I'm not sure. It does say though that the DHCP isn't working. Check that DHCP is enabled on the router itself as well as the computer.
