Reputation: 3574  Rep Power: 75 | I'm not sure if it pertains to your problem... but I just "solved" a problem with a notebook's WiFi card having trouble getting a proper IP. The notebook connects easily to the WiFi router but it just won't get a proper IP. I forced it to use a fixed IP and that worked BUT nothing gets through. Even pings to the router times out. So I tried turning off WEP authentication and it worked!!  Unfortunately, turning off security is not an option so I tried something else - changing the password.  Okay, it's really funny and sounds a bit stupid, but that damn trick really worked!!!  After I changed the password and rebooted the router, the notebook had no problem connecting to the router and grabbing a proper IP!!!!!
