My router assigns IP address but I cannot ping router??

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

Go to "My Network Places" and right click and select properties. Highlight
your connection and look in the lower left at the Details information. Does
the address look appropriate for your network, and does it say Assigned by
DHCP or something else.

Do you have enough addresses available for the new setup to be assigned one?
Do you have more than one DHCP server? Did you set up a new connection when
you moved the computer?

Open msinfo32.exe and look under Software Environment and Windows Error
Reporting. You may have to drag out the divider sections, but you may see
some type of error message there.
