Thank you very much for the tip on resetting the cable modem. This solved the problem for me on an HP Mini 110.

I am having the same issue. I tried releasing and renewing the IP address and then I get the “no operation … ” message. The strange thing is that it will then momentarily look like I’m connected to the wireless network and then before I can even get a page to load I get the red X that says I’m not connected.

I’m working on a laptop and I’ve never had issues before so I’m so frustrated. For years I’ve used a broadband card but when I visited family I’d connect to their wireless at home. I recently moved into a new apartment where everything is wireless and that’s when the issue started. I wouldn’t care except the apartment is a blackhole for both my cell phone and broadband card and everything moves at a snail’s pace. My roommate has connected to the wireless no problem.

Any ideas or suggestions? Is it a conflict with my broadband card?

If the IP address is local to your LAN, such as 192.168.1.2 then that’s fine. The router is giving you the first one it knows is available. But you can edit the TCP/IP properties of the network card and assign it a “static” IP address.

When i do this it just gives me the same ip address over and over again. I’ve tried it multiple times but it doesnt change. Is there any other way to get a different ip address?

This eans the computer cannot get an IP address from the router. You should directly connect to the router and try and login and make sure it is setup as a DHCP server.
