Always acquiring network address

HI all,

My wifi card is constantly showing "acquiring network address" - even
though I have a strong signal and a fixed ip!

If I reboot or disconnect from the AP on restart or reconnection.. it
always shows acquiring network address...

To get it to normal I open the network connections.. right click properties
of the wifi card.. then press ok. I change nothng.. just "ok " it and it
goes back to normal...

Any ideas on how to solve this ?
When it's acquiring network address I can continue to use the connection
and have done so for days.. It's just anoying!

Regards,

Doz

I'd download and install the latest drivers from the mfr.
