Wi-Fi – Schmi-Fi!

by var1016 . Updated 16 years, 6 months ago

Hello.

This time a wi-fi problem.

There is an IP provider’s (Orange Livebox) box here at work. The boss’s laptop connects fine via wi-fi to this. I cannot connect using my Belkin wireless dongle.

Quick history: The dongle picks up the signal fine. If I leave the computer to assign automatically an IP address there is no connection (“Windows could not assign an IP address”). If I assign the same address as on the boss’s laptop, then I get “connected” but not to the Internet. Then if I connect via ethernet cable, suddenly I have a wireless connection according to the Belkin software.

Help please!
Thanks in advance
Paul
