Hello everyone!
OK, this is weird, yesterday I tried to connect to my wireless router which never gave me any problems, but the connection took very long and when it finally connected, it gives me a "Limited or no connectivity" message, and when I go check, it says it sent 150 packets and only received 4...

What's wrong? The machine's right next to the router, and signal is all 5 bars...

The weirdest part is they work good alone, like, my other laptop gets connected, and this laptop can connect to my neighbor's AP...

Any ideas? Thanks very much! ;-)

seems that the router is not giving to your pc an ip address via the dhcp server..try to reboot it or give a static ip address to your pc

nope, the problem is here..

what is happening infact is your laptop has more preference set for your neighbours wireless network then your network

different preferences are for different laptops

i dont remember exactly how to change the preference

but need to right click on wireless LAN from Network Connections from control panel

then go to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and properties. Change the preference there and seems will fix the issue

Yeah, mine is set at the highest... :-/

The problem is it doesn't want to establish a connection with it after I select it to connect...

I think there's something with the DHCP though, see, just to test, I put my other computer a static addy on the router's config page... I added 192.168.0.101 to the MAC address listed with ipconfig, then I went to Network Connections and repaired it, did ipconfig again but still got 192.168.0.117, which was what it had before... o_O

Any ideas why this might be? Thanks! ;-)
