Dell Inspiron 6000 Wireless Network Connection Problem
Earlier today my computer, a Dell Inspiron 6000, had some problems, it would boot up to the "Blue Screen of Death" Window's fatal error screen. I contacted Dell and they had me restore my system. Now, after the system is restored, I am trying to connect to my girlfriends parents network so I can update windows, mcafee, and redownload some things I need, only it won't connect. They have a secure network, which I have the network key for, and my computer worked on this network before the reinstall. After entering the network key it gets to Acquiring Network Address and it won't go any further. I have tried everything I can think of but at this point I am so frustrated I cannot think straight, so I am sure there is something I forgot to do before connecting or something, I just can't think what.

Are you absolutely, 100%, positively, without any doubt whatsoever, sure that you are entering the correct network key and have set the correct encryption protocol? The key and protocol must match exactly what is set on the router. One tiny mistake is a no go.
