Thread: Acquiring Network address.

I have a wireless router and when I connect my laptop to my router(Netgear) Its just shows the message Acquiring network Address. And the ball type pointer would keep circulating. What could be the problem??

If PC not able to attatin IP address automatically from routre by DHCP it goes to the stage limited connectivity. An easy way to avoid it to specify the IP address manually in tcp/ip properties. Find out the IP address of the router use it as gateway and DNS; assign IP address and subnet mask accordingly

Just reset your router and also check your DHCP settings which assign IP to computers dynamically each time they connect. Also you check access control and see if you have not blocked your computer by mistake .
