Router not assigning Wireless IPs

[OneNeutrino]

Hello within the last month my router has stopped assigning wireless IPs to my wirelessly connected computers. All of my wired computers are fine (how im posting this). I checked in the router settings and everything looks the same. I have tried everything that I know and restarted the router and still nothing works. I even manually assigned it an IP.

When I log onto the network I get a connection and good signal strength but then when looking at the router, it lists only my wired computers as being attached. When I manually assign the wireless computers IPs, it says that there are no problems but still the router doesn't show them as being attached. Irritating problem.

Anyone have any ideas? I really need this soon as the wireless computers have small business software installed that NEED internet.

did you accidently throw up some MAC filters on the wireless side? or accidently turn on encryption?

Do you have a cordless phone or microwave nearby?

No and no (it was already encrypted). The computer thinks its on the network (and this isnt the only computer so its the router) and says everything is a go. But nothing network related works.

Sorry for the delayed response, had classes.

ok, back to basics:

1) PC have a unique name?
2) PC assigned to the same workgroup as the rest?
3) if these 2 are fine, then attach the laptop to the router and see if it can pick up an IP address. If it can, then the problem is isolated to the wireless subsystem...which one?
4) go elsewhere and try to connect to a public wireless network.
if you can, then issue is the router --> replace router
if you can't then we will have to delve into the PC settings

BTW, do you use the Windows wireless config option or someother configuration tool?

Its a 3rd party config (Netgear).
