hi everybody!
i have a netgear wireless router, and recently i was having problems with it. randomly throughout the day any page i tried to load would come up totally blank. i completely reset all the settings on the router and re-did all of the setup for it and it's been working great, except something else came up. i have a mac and a pc with windows xp, the mac connects to the router no problem, but my pc gets stuck on "acquiring network address". however, if i connect the pc to the router with an ethernet cable it works fine. i have dynamic ip, but even with all the wireless settings for auto, all i get is 0.0.0.0. i have tried running cmd and renewing the ip and it tells me "request has timed out. unable to contact your dhcp server". if i tell it to use a fixed ip address, it says that it is connected, but any page i go to says "can't find server". if i ping a site with a fixed ip, it works no problem, but still my browser won't load. if someone could tell me how to get it to automatically find an ip, or even get it to work with a fixed ip, i would really appreciate it. i don't like having to use a wire with my wireless network.
