Re: Network Address

I presume you are talking about a Wireless connection...
Have you got WEP or WPA encryption ?
Double check that you have the correct code configured in the Wireless client

Re: Network Address

Sounds like you have DHCP switched off on the router.
If it won't work with no encryption (WEP, WPA etc) then try switching DHCP on.
If it still won't work, you could use static addresses...

Re: Network Address

I am posting this on a laptop, with the same router that gives the error on a desktop, how can that be.
I use the laptop no errors, I use the desktop same router and get the error.
Any help Please. Selkirk.

Re: Network Address

Assuming similar OS's on the two PC's and assuming that both are connected wirelessly,
Check the settings are identical (unless you are using static addressing).
Have you tried pinging your router address from the "bad computer"?
Does it have a firewall that blocks port 80 outgoing?

Re: Network Address

Have the desktop worked in the pass?
If not then it's a problem with the Network Connection. You need to go to the control panel select Network Connections go the the connection that you are using right click on this and go to the TCP/IP and click on properties and make sure that Obtain IP address automatically is selected.
