I am having a problem with my “WIRELESS CONNECTION” on my Inspiron 9300.  If I am on the road or in a Starbucks, Dunkin Donut , Airport , etc., I am unable to connect to the Internet. In the past I have never had a problem. (I do not have a problem at home with my Comcast Wireless Connection.) I m ust have click something by mistake.

In the past I always used my Windows Microsoft Client as well as  Intel ( R ) PRO Wireless 2200BG  Network to connect to my “WIRELESS CONNECTION” and experienced no Wireless Connection problems in connecting to the Internet when I was traveling, etc. Now I cannot connect with either one.

 

My current problem situation is as follows:

1. Click Wireless Network Connection?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

2. Choose the Wireless Network that is available.

3. Click Connect

4. Network Connects.

5. Signal for Network indicates Signal Strength is Good to Very Good.

6. Status for Network indicates “Limited or No Connectivity”.

7. Click “Limited or No Connectivity”.

8. Click “Repair” indicates “Wireless could not finish repairing the problem because the following action could not be completed: Renewing your IP Address.” Invalid IP Address.

Furthermore, I checked and performed the following:

Windows XP Professional Help and Support Center/ Tools/

NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS. I have no idea what the results mean.

Please  Help.
