Switching from wired to wireless connection

After installing the wireless modem, i tried to switch to wireless. It worked for a while then my internet disconnected. The error message is "connected but with limited access".

 

I called the ISP who advise that I must switch to wireless on my laptop. How do I do that? I am having an Inspirion 1420.

 

Thanks.

that message typically means that your compouter wasn't assigned an IP.  try the Repair option on the wireless connection.

Please post the results on an ipconfig /all.

 

Is the router in a good location for broadcasting?

Thanks all for the answers. The problem seems to be resolved after i did the ipconfig /release and then ipconfig / renew.

 

Now I am on wireless. :smileyvery-happy:
