Hi,
I'm using a dell latitude d610, was working fine, very slow, but fine! Until one day when It stopped connection to the wireless router! It now has a yellow triangle with exclamation mark in, and reads status: limited or no connectivity, upon trying to repair it, the following action could not be completed: renewing your ip address!! Other pc's use the router, and it still works fine, my laptop can access other networks in mates houses, it's just my laptop and router!!

Any info you need I can get, just help me along the way, im ok with general use of laptops, but not amazing!!! Please help tho, as I only have my iPhone to connect to the net now!! I miss my laptop working!!

Thank you all in advance!!

reapply the wireless encryption passcode on your wireless profile for connecting to this router. see if you can then manually connect.

Tried to retype password in, also tried opening command prompt window, release and renewing ip address, typed ipconfig /all and displayed:


C:\Documents and Settings\Your name>ipconfig /all

Hello,

Do you have the latest SP for your XP which is SP3?

You may uninstall the Intel wireless adapter from Device Manager, reboot your computer and then let your Windows reinstall the driver automatically.

It will be good to update your Intel driver by using the Intel driver utility tool.
