Invalid IP Address

[W4TA]

I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. I show a signal from the
wireless router and can connect with two other laptops. I'm a
novice... so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Error message is "Invalid IP Address". I have entered run command
"ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew" ... and "ipconfig /
dnsflush" ..."netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt"... "netsh winsock reset
catalog" . I have selected the "repair" option on the connection.

DHCP Client is set to startup type "automatic".

None of this has helped. I'm running Windows XP svc pack 2.

It will be pretty difficult for me to run a cable to check
connectivity via lan wire. Until recently, connectivity was fine...
but the router malfunctioned and Verizon sent a new one. My computer
recognized the new router and actually connected wirelessly (very
slowly) for a minute... then it would no longer allow me to connect.
The router still shows as an available wireless address... just cannot
connect via this one computer.

Here is what the IPCONFIG /ALL screen says:

New router can also mean new wireless network SSID or IP address.
Check any / all anti-virus / firewall software and tell them to
"trust" this new SSID / IP address.
