Got an old HP pavilion dv8000 notebook and cannot hook up to my brothers netgear router says invalid ip address and shows up a limited or no connectivity. My network adapter is the broadband 802.11b/g WLAN. Im no expert but its a wpa2 connection and im not sure this adapter works with it since its an old cpu (2004). My thanks in advance to anyone who attempts to help a poor cpu user...
 
Solution
Check and make sure your laptop deon't have a static IP, also check that you have the latest BIOS and drivers for the system from the manuafacturer's web site
