Cable Forum - View Single Post - PC won't acquire IP from router when wireless

**Chris** · 23-07-2005, 16:21

The wifi is a built-in intel proset one. I have upgraded the driver to the latest version and that made no difference. I have tried both intel and windows controlling the wireless and both fail at the same point - both say the PC is connected to the router, but neither can acquire an IP address from the router. It seems to me that the problem is in the router, not the PC.

I have tried to switch off DCHP on the router but when I change the setting and reboot, it's switched on again. NEARGH!!!
