IP address incorrect

Question

Hi. I have a BT Home hub which happily runs a laptop. When I added a Desktop PC (via wireless network adapter) it does see the available networks but won't connect to them. I've subsequently found out that it doesn't like the IP address. Can someone tell me how to rectify this as I've looked at countless forums and had loads of different fixes. I am running Vista on the Desktop and have (unsuccessfully) tried the following steps Command- iprelease or iprenew (both not recognised) System restore Removing and reinstalling the hardware and drivers The windows 'repair now' facility......couldn't repair it. It states that the ip address is incorrect or wasn't recognised or something like that...... Please help somebody.....this is driving me round the bend!!

Hi,

Please let me know the error message that comes up while connecting to a wireless network.

In the command prompt window, type “ipconfig /all” and take a screenshot of the window and paste it in this post.

Did the desktop connect to the wireless network earlier?

Please post the results so that we can troubleshoot further.
