You could also get that if your WEP / WPA key is incorrect, has that changed lately?
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

One fix is to issue a fixed IP as suggested by @samuria, however I found a reboot (power cycle) of the router did the trick.
You could try that first (unless you already did)
If you still need instructions on assigning an IP manually after trying this - shout up and one of us will walk you through it.

It should then work if its fussy you may need to reboot. Depending on the device there may be another way to set it

Best is to set it to something like x.x.x.100, which should be out of the way of any DHCP allocations (better still is to restrict the DHCP adderss pool in the router configuration and make sure any address you allocate is outside that).
To change the settings you need to go to Control Panel>Network Connections and right click on your wireless connection.
Click on properties and, in the box that follows, highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select properties (underneath the white box).
On the screen that follows select "Use the following IP address" and enter (assuming your router is on 192.168.1.1)
IP address 192.168.1.100
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
Then select "use the following DNS Servers"
and enter 212.159.6.9 in the "Preferred DNS Server"
and 212.159.6.10 in the "Alternate DNS Server"
Click OK and then OK again in the previous box.
If your router has a start IP of anything other than 192.168.1.1, you'll need to change the above accordingly.
e.g. If it was 192.168.0.1 the settings would be:
IP address 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
Preferred and alternate DNS as above.

Have you got any encryption on and are you sure its set ok ie the pc and the router have the same key and levels?
Try taking the encryption off.
What is the signal strength and can you connect ok with a network cable

Signal strength was 24Mbps, not 54Mbps as previous.
The connection is with a Cat5 cable.
When you say take encryption off, do you mean WPA?
Is it safe to post ipconfig /all on this forum, as I have not seen the whole page posted before? This is new too me. Selkirk.

Should be perfectly safe as all IPs pertaining to your machine should be in the private networking reserved prefix (192.168.x.x) which is shared by all routers and not accessible via the Internet.
All we want to check is that the default gateway and DNS servers are set correctly in the TCP/IP stack in accordance with the advice given.
We are just here to help.
If you are still uneasy about posting to the forum, please free to PM me the details and I shall be happy to check them for you.
All the best

If you have your Ethernet plugged in as well, pull the plug and either reboot or at the command prompt type ipconfig /renew to ensure that your connection goes through wireless.
When you are done, run a tracert, to do this:
Go to cmd as before and type tracert 194.119.131.66 and then press enter, copy and paste the results and one of us will have a look
