Stuck on “Acquiring Network Address”

This has been killing me for about 2 days now time to ask for some help.

Having trouble with wireless networking, it’s stuck on acquiring network address then times out. I am able to get online with the built in RJ45. Have virus scanned / spyware scanned, tried winsock fixes nothing seems to work. Using a netgear MA111 v2 wireless adapter. What I have noticed while messing around to get it up and running is if I edit the protocol stack, add client for microsoft networks QoS packet sched. once you ok out of the lan properties the wifi will pick up an IP, reboot and the same issues occurs. I also tried disabling the wireless 0, and using the netgear wireless utility, everytime I reboot the wireless 0 utility re enables itself. I can always see the wireless network just cannot pull an IP. I do have other machines running wireless on this network attached to this router so I know it’s not a bunk router. Please let me know if I can provide anymore helpful information.

thanks in advance
-Zack
