johnblaze Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Hi there, hopefully someone can help me out with an issue I'm having with my wireless internet connection. A couple of weeks back my wireless connection stopped working, giving me an error message saying that there was an error accquiring a network address. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software but it's not helped. When I try to repair the connection it tells me that Windows can't finish repairing the connection as it cannot renew my IP address. My OS is Windows XP (Home Edition) with service pack 3. Any advice would be much appreciated... Quote
Jelly Bean Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Hello there. Have you tried turning off the modem/router and the computer then reboot modem/router then reboot the computer? Have you tried updating the hardware driver via device manager? How to Set IP Address and Other Network Information in Windows XP Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
