Can't hold a connection?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi Screamer, your problem seems to be that the card is not "renewing" the ip.
Renewing the ip means something like refreshing and getting a new ip, what it
concerns me is that yuor computer may have an "static" ip (little knowledge
about wi-fi) and you just overwrote the settings. Try restoring and then call
the tech support of your isp just to check if the infrastucture is set
correctly.
