Netbook connection

Hello,
My daughters new HP mini netbook recognizes the network but continues to "aquire address" without success. Can anyone tell me an easy fix? thanks

Check TCP/IP Properties.

Start, Connect To, Connection, Properties, Scroll Down TCP/IP and highlight, click Properties and check that Obtain DNS and IP address automatically are enabled.


If that's already all in order, connect the computer to the router with an ethernet cable.

See the literature which came with your router for how to access the user setup screens in the router. Once in go to wireless security and review or renew the wireless security type and password. WPA PSK TKIP is the most common security type in use.

Go to wireless mode and ensure that it's set to a protocol matching your computer's wireless adapter (mixed mode is a safe bet).

Disconnect ethernet cable.


Apply the wireless security type and password to the computer's wireless networking setup screen.
