Limited or no connectivity

Hi

I have installed a wireless network for a friend (one laptop & one
router).

We have not managed this and keep on getting an err message Limited or
no connectivity.

You might not be be able to access the internet. The problem occurred
because the network did not assign a network address.

I have look at the details and there is an assigned IP address but the
DNS field and another one are blank.

Thanks

Brian

This might happen also because the router is not getting an IP from the
ISP, so you must check if the router is configured correctly as your
ISP requests.
First check in the router's html interface, there should be a page for
the WAN status, if the ISP is assigning an IP to the router itself

Most likely reason in my opinion is you have enabled security but the
security is not setup the same way on both devices. If you've enabled
security and are using a password, recheck that you've entered it correctly
on both devices. You may need to enter the password as a "Hex" value in the
notebook. See if these pages don't help;

There is also an excellent network troubleshooter by MVP Hans-Georg Michna.
Take the time to go through it and it will usually pinpoint the problem
