I am tearing my hair out in front of my mother-in-law's laptop. I set it up with a Belkin 54g wireless router some weeks ago and it has been temperamental to say the least. It (the connection) works for days, then apparently at random the PC loses its settings and I have to talk her through reinputting them over the phone.

Now it has gone completely screwey and her laptop won't connect - it can't get an IP address from the router. I have forced the router to renew all leases and have rebooted it. I am connected to the router currently by cable from my work laptop. When I first got here this afternoon my laptop connected by wireless succdessfully but then lost the connection within about 2 minutes.

Anyone got any ideas?
