I renewed IP address and restarted the laptop and bingo! it connected :D. Thanks for all your help KenB, it's really appreciated.

Sorry KenB, I should of mentioned in my previous post that it was the default 'Netgear' IP address which I tried and still did not work. I wasn't even able to ping 192.168.0.1!!

Hi KenB, I have tried all that you asked but still have the same problem. The router is a Netgear DG834, so I added the default IP settings, which were correct as I tried it with another laptop.

Still no connection. I've now removed the card and plugged in a usb adapter which has the latest driver but still won't connect. Tray icon says it's trying to acquire an IP address. When I right click the wireless connection tray icon and go to status, it reads: Status: Trying to acquire IP address Speed: 10mb Activity: sent:0 received: 120 Hope that helps :)

There is no WLAN Autoconfig service. There is a Wireless Zero Config service which is started and set to automatic startup.

Hi Yes that is the device. The "Act" and "Link" lights on the dlink device do flash on and off simultaneously, which I'm taking as it is connected. The tray icon for wireless connections shows as having a good connection, but the browser still won't open any web pages. The wireless LED situated at the front of the laptop does not light up. I have also tried a NEWlink wireless usb adapter which also did not work.

No problems in device manager.

Yes it is switched on.

Sorry, I should of said the wireless LED on the laptop is not lit but the routers is. I can connect via ethernet cable. The D-Link wireless adapter is telling me that it is trying to acquire an IP address. I can connect wirelessly to the router and internet with my own laptop.

Hi, my friend has a RM AL51 4100 Notebook and it is running XP Pro SP2. The problem is that it can't connect to the internet. It has a D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 wireless adapter in the card port, but when trying to open IE7 or FF it will not connect to the internet. When I run>cmd>ipconfig it shows the ip address as zeros. Also the wireless LED does not light up. This is the ipconfig/all: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Laptop8 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethe rnet NIC Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-0F-B0-F2-CB-08 Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 Wireless Car dbus Adapter(rev.C) Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-19-5B-3A-89-C7 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
