Problem with Netgear wireless connection... says "Limited or no connectivity" but signal i

I've tried unplugging all the wires on the router and the adapter, restarted both computers, made sure all firewalls were disabled, double checked all the passwords.... I'm not too computer saavy so i dnt know what else to do. it says signal is strong but there is no internet. what is weird is that my cell phone has wifi and i can surf the net fine on my phone but not my comp. i tried to "repair" the connection but it keeps getting stuck at "Acquiring network key". everything worked fine for the past year :( HELP!

Your PC is not getting an IP address from the DHCP server on the router. Sometimes there are compatibility issues between the wireless NIC and the router. DO to the router manufacturer's web site under support and look for firmware updates. Also look for updates to your wireless NIC from the manufacturer's web site. I have seen these updates work wonders!!.

You might also check the security settings on the router to make sure it does not require that you authorize the MAC address of the Wireless PC..

Confirm that your PC and the router are using identical security settings. Not WPA2 on the router and WPA on the PC.

When iin doubt start with your router having all security turned off, then step in security one piece at a time.

Try this...it may work

Right Click My Network Places and select Properties --%26gt; Right click the Net adaptor icon andselect properties--%26gt; Select the last option [TCP/IP] and click on the properties button--%26gt; now put in the IP address, DNS Alt. DNS etc. (you should know it, ask your ISP)--%26gt; Click Ok and then OK to the other network window, it will work.

You may then enable your firewalls, and anti-virus, etc.
