Wireless Problem

I changed the network wep key yeserday. Changed the key on the laptop, connects fine.

Changed the key on both computers and they show 100% signal but are sat on Aquiring Network Address?!

I have even given them an ip address instead of grabbing one off the DHCP but still no luck.

Anyone know what to do?

Re: Wireless Problem

Try rebooting the Access Point (router).

Re: Wireless Problem

have you tried uninstalling the network card drivers & software, rebooting then reinstalling them?
The same thing happened to one of my PC's on my wireless network when I temporarily removed the WEP key.
Just out of interest what cards do you use? I use the D-Link DWL-G520
