Wireless Problem

[jtplenge]

I have a problem with the wireless network in my house. I recently started my laptop from hibernation and it said it was not connected to my wireless network (It was connected when I hibernated the laptop the night before). I reconnected using my secure network key and it now says it’s connected, but trying to obtain an IP address. I’ve tried the following remedies without success:

1. Power off and restart both the cable modem and wireless router.
2. Remove the home network from the list of wireless networks on the laptop and have it reacquire and reconnect from scratch.
3. Reboot the laptop.

My laptop currently states that it is connected to my network and is obtaining an IP address, but won’t get past this point. Can anyone suggest something else to try?

The laptop is an HP Pavilion ZE2000, the wireless router is a NetGear Wireless G router model WGR614, v9.

Thanks

When you power off the modem and router, make sure you leave them off for one full minute. Then plug in the modem first, wait another minute and plug in the router. That way they can clear their "memories".

I have problems sometimes with my laptop older Compaq presario 2100 win xp pro sp3 using an SMC 54g wireless card (PCMCIA)when Hibernating. Coming out of hibernation I sometimes have to extract then reinsert the wireless card for mine to work or it won't do anything. so I don't think your alone in this .
