Ritesh2raj,

 

Try...

 

Start, control panel, device manager, then clicked on network, right clicked on the your network adapter you should see...

Left click Uninstall

Restart your computer.

After you login, the new hardware wizard will find your network adapter and install it for you.

Ritesh2raj,

 

Strange that the wireless adapter is not getting an ip address.

 

Try reading...

Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers

 

Your wireless router, is it using these Recommended Wireless Router Settings I use channel 11. I would make a new SSID to make connecting easier. You are NOT using Mac address filtering, correct?
