Thanks for replying!
I have no idea what brand or type it is because my wireless network connection window just pops up with "available wireless networks" and all I do is click connect. The signal varies from poor to very good.
The operating state is "associated with access point." One of these appears with the SSID 2908, and the other is something called KOBY. It says the network type is access point (infrastructure). Could it be that I'm getting someone else's access point?
And I think I should make it clear that I am not on a network. When I try ipconfig /renew, in addition to telling me that it can't contact a DHCP server, it also says that the media state for ethernet local area connection is disconnected.
For the Ethernet adapter wireless network connection. The autoconfiguration IP address says 169.254.194.153. the subnet mask says 255.255.0.0. The IP address section is just "?" ...
Boy, I'm so confused. I hope I didn't do the same to you =I.
