Folks,
I am facing strange problem. My laptop recognises wireless signal
from gateway, and it shows signal strength as "Excellent". Yet my
laptop is unable to receive Ip address from dhcp server and it fails to
recognise the home network and other computers. This means I cannot surf
internet or share files from other computer/printer.

it is very frustrating. I have followed all normal procedure and help of
how to include computer to home network. It recognises signal and then
eventually it times out and gives itself some static ip address (default
Ip incase dhcp server cannot be located).

Any help in fixing the problem is appreciated.

Best Regards
 
I followed the instructions there. Still wireless card cannot find
gateway (and in turn dhcp server). It eventually times out and assigns
itself private static IP address 168.254.xx.xx.

The wireless link is WEP enabled. I wonder if that could be the
problem ? Any help is appreciated.
