I have this really annoying problem which I just can't seem to get fix.
I recently changed broadband providers at my Mum & Dads house. They have a Belkin wireless router which they access via a wired connection from the lounge. It's been working fine for 4+ years on the existing internet connection.
So I go round and use my Mums laptop to connect to the router begin adjusting the new settings for the new broadband provider. All is fine for about half an hour then all of a sudden I get disconnected from the router and the message "limited or no connectivity" up. From looking at further information it says that it is unable to obtain an I.P address. So I reset the router try using different cables (there are three network points in the house) and all have the same message. So I think that maybe the laptop settings have changed and I try my Dad's computer also via hard wired connection. Exactly the same problem.
I take the laptop back my house and plug into my router and it connects quickly without any problems and I am able to use the internet etc. So thinking that maybe it's the cabling in the house I take a spare RJ45 cable round and plug the laptop straight into the router, again with the same mesage popping up. I have tried assigning a fixed I.P address to the laptop, restarted the TCP/IP service via running services.msc.
I can't think of anything else to try. It seems that some settings have changed on the router and I now I just can't connect to it. I also took my spare router from home and swapped them over with the same problem (even with a different RJ45 cable).
The only thing left for me to try is taking my laptop from home and trying to connect to the routers (either one). If that fails and I get the same error message then something must have changed the routers settings or it has something to do with my DSL line (although that shouldn't stop me from getting an I.P address right?)
