Can't connect to Internet

Hi. My home wireless connection has been working fine for about a year then a week or so ago one PC in the house wouldn't connect, the other three would. After messing with the settings re-inputting the network key fixed it. Now it has stopped again.

The PC will see all the available networks in the local area including mine, and the three other PC's all work fine. When trying to connect to the Router if fails to acquire a network address. The Router is set to DHCP and the PC is set to automatically acquire an address as are all the other PC's. I tried manually setting the PC's IP in the range set in the Router and although the connection icon in the system tray then shows a connection, it won't connect to the Internet. However, with it set manually it lets me access the Router which is won't set to automatic.

An ipconfig when set to automatically get the IP gives 169.254.145.42 and 255.255.0.0 which doesn't match anything in the Router.

I've even tried re-installing the network card even though it didn't appear to be anything to do with this.

Any help would be appreciated.

It was unintentional, the page said I had to refresh and it posted it again.

Hai Dost !
This Is Posible That UR DHCP Client Services Get Stop Start That Services. In Case Of Manual Ip Address Confer The Dns Addres From UR ISP, Because In Case Of DHCP Comp Take Dns Address Same As Gateway.

In Small Words U Can Do:

1) Start UR DHCP Client Services.

2) Take DNS Address From UR ISP (Internet Services Provider).

Replay Me Is It Works Or Not.

BYE ((:-)
