Netgear WGR614 will not access IP address

by knoxvilletennessee Jun 22, 2007 3:35PM PDT

All of a sudden I am not able to get the browser to open on one of my laptops.

We have three laptops in use in our house. The one PC and the MAC are getting on the web just fine; however, all of a suddent the other PC is showing that the signal strength is excellent; however, the staus is limited or not connectivity. When I click to repair, It states that the IP address could not be renewed.

Why is this all of a sudden happening? What can I do?

Thank you

This hijack can cause that message. Easy to cure by leaving SSID enabled and moving to WPA-PSK

If the machine doesn't work in the same room as the router this it's something with that PC. Try WINSOCKFIX first.
