SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!!(fs115e WLAN)

[adrob]

Does anyone know why my VGN-FS115E would tell me my network isn't assigning an IP address. I am using the same wireless network with my mum's acer laptop to write this post which would suggest it's a problem with my computer.

PLEASE help, I've tried q few things and this is still driving me absolutely nuts cos i NEED to be able to use WLAN, any suggestions are much appreciated.

Normally this would be either an encryption key setting or a firewall issue.

Try resetting the wlan encryption key and temporarily turning off the firewall.

I had the same problem with the wireless connection - I'd completely reinstalled XP (Pro) as I was unable to get a recovery CD.  I was lucky, there was a "Drivers" folder still on the C: drive before I wiped it so I copied it all to a memory stick.  Reinstallation all went OK but then the wireless NIC was not getting a valid IP address from the DHCP server.  I just re-ran the Wireless NIC installer that I had in the "Drivers" folder.

The Wireless NIC is an Intel  PRO/Wireless 2200BG.
