Inspiron 700m wireless network connection problem

Question

Yesterday my inspiron quit connecting to my wireless home network.  The network shows up in the list of available networks but when it tries to connect it seems to stop at 'acquiring network address'  No changes were made to either computer.   any suggestions will be appreciated.

Have you tried resetting the router by turning it off then turning it back on? Are you running encryption on the network? If so, try disabling the enctryption temporarily to see if that is the cause of the problem.

It just stops there.  I left it earlier today and it stayed there for several hours.  No error messages no nothing.   Denise

You say that it 'seems to stop at acquiring network address'. Does it return an error message or does it just stop?   Steve

Try reinstalling the drivers for the wireless network adapter. Steve
