Acquiring ip address

Having problem with my wireless network. I can't seem to acquire an ip address. The network just hangs while windows tries to get the IP address. Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Do you have any encryption set up on your wireless network? You might have to go into the manager and input your password again.

You maybe are not entering the security key correctly.

Also, try rebooting your rooter, I know that the DHCP service on our BT Homehub just stops working from time to time and a reboot seems to sort it out.
