DHCP Problem?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hello, I have a small wirelesss home network. I know that the network has worked before. MY problem is I went up to college no doubt had to change some settings there on my laptop, and now that I am back home, my laptop is not connecting to the host computer properly. Interestingly enough, the connection icon pops up in the system tray and says that I have good to excellent reception. I cannot however access any network functions, in fact, it says that I do not even receive any packets. Once I performed some sort of diagnostic and got about 60 packets to come through, but nothing else. It is a link sys hub and wireless PCMIA card, both are workign properly. I know that my laptop is acquiring a new IP address, when I click the repair option on the laptop, it says that it cannot renew IP. I do now plan on changing anything on the hsot PC, b/c nothing on it has changed...it is most likely with my laptop (dell latitude). ANy help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks

P.S. Please if you could send a duplicate of your reply to amorris@email.byu.edu Thanks!
