Wireless connectivity

[Guest Chrisp]

Hi

 

I have the following attached to my wireless home router. 2 x Windows XP

computers, 1 x Windows Vista computers, 1 x Apple Mac computer, Apple TV,

iPhone. Until last week all devices connected to the internet fine.

 

One day both the Windows XP computers (from two different vendors) stop

acquiring IP addresses and therefore cannot connect to the internet despite

the fact that they have successfully attached to the router wirelessly. So I

put in static information and they still could not see anything externally.

I've run updates on them (by connecting them via an ethernet cable to the

router) and it appears that they are up to date.

 

I have substitued the original Netgear router with a Draytek one but the

problem remains. What could be wrong?

Re: Wireless connectivity

 

Even though you are using a router try ipconfig /release then ipconfig

/renew. I have the bat file listed on line 8:
