Ok i have a linksys pci-G w/ speedbooster in 2 computers and a linksys G router connect to my cable modem and my computer is directly connected to the router.
Heres hte problem. my dads computer is downstairs and im very sure the wireless connection is in range adn everything becuase i setup the computer in a manual configuration where i got the router negotiation and the connection to the internet and it worked every single time. When i reformatted, i forgot how to do the manual configuration so i had to put it back to automatic configuration. So heres the problem... when i auto configure, its really hard to get a connection. What happens is when i disable and reenable the network, the IP address goes to 0.0.0.0 and i cant get a connection to the internet and the in-home network. The DHCP table shows the computer being detected by the router and everything but the actual computer doesnt have an actual connection to the internet. The computer sees hte network and says its connected, but it gets that 0.0.0.0 IP or it sometimes gets this weird automatic private address thats like 163.200.#.# or something. The drivers and firmware are all up to date so does anyone know whats going on here?
