Acer Aspire 5315. vista, wireless problem.
Hey everyone,
my girlfriend got a new laptop, and its having wireless troubles.
It will connect to the internet perfectly if you use a Ethernet cable, but its got built in wireless.
But the wireless wont work. At my girlfriends house it connects then disconnects to their netgear router because of a ip confliction, but i dont know how to change the ip address. Ive dried the cmd ” ipconfig/release – renew” and manually putting a new ip in.
And at my house it just wont connect to my livebox. stops when its trying to aquire the ip. But for both it will work wired.
any ideas?
What does an ipconfig /all show? Is the laptop set to receive it’s IP via DHCP from your network, or do you have a static IP set up for each computer on your network? Make sure for the wireless on the Vista PC the SSID is set right, along with the correct encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA2) and the correct key phrase.
