Same Problem as Everyone Else (not really)

JazzEliz · 10-04-2006, 06:21 AM

Hello,

I just purchased the cutest Sony Vaio laptop, along with a Belkin N1 Wireless Router. Things were going along just fine for the first few days, but, suddenly, my ip address is lost. I'm pasting the ipconfig stuff from the computer here.

When I attempt to bring up my wireless connections, a window pops up with some ip address that reads all zeros. I can't make it stay up long enough to see where it is, but, could it be the routers ip?

To enable a network key, there was a card included in the box with an ip address to visit and change settings. I assume that wasn't only for my router. Could this have something to do with it?

Thanks for offering some help to the uninformed out here.

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread. I've created a new thread for your issue here. Thanks for your cooperation.
