Solved my Problem

by SAPLinkin - 8/27/05 12:04 PM In reply to: Connected,but not receiving packets??? by srnelsen Hi Guys,
I had a similar problem.I am using a dell Laptop and was able to connect to the internet using my wireless connection and also connect to the Netgear router via wire.However one fine day the I wasn't able to receive any packets when I was connected to the wired connection.after some reading about tech jargons and commands I finally accidentally solved the problem simply myself.In Window XP I went to Show all connections->right clicked on my LA connection->properties->Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
and selected the checkbox Obtain IP address automatically. And Wow the computer started receiving packets the moment I saved the setting..

Please try this out and Since I am not aware if there can be any damaging implications of my settings, Please tell me if that is fine.

That can happen also when you have a 3rd party wifi configuration tool running. For example, Dell Laptops. I had to uninstall the Dell app from my room mate's parent's laptop. When you right click on "properties" on your network icon. Check the box under the wireless tab that will allow windows to configure wireless connections. I appreciate the confidence yall got in me. I don't claim to know it all. I just help where and when I can based on what problems and errors I've had over the years.
