Re: Unable to obtain a server- assigned IP address Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Setting

I am trying everything right now... However, I am still getting that
same message... There is one thing that is strange to me.... I am now
getting this reading in my HP Wi-Fi Manager:

Network Information:
DHCP: Enable
IP Address: 0.0.1.41 (This could change to nothing withing minutes!)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

When I hit the "IP Renew" button... there is that dang message again!
"Unable to obtain a server- assigned IP address Try again later or
enter an IP address in Network Setting"

HI Sven!

When this started, no. I made no changes at all. When I started
troubleshooting, yes I made changes...but, I put all the changes back
to "default" and then back to "my original settings" when nothing seem
to work.

Yes, I have 3 laptops working well on my wireless access point at
present. When my family (we are all geeks here LOL) is over with their
laptops/PDAs, they can log on with no problem. I also have two Desktop
computers on a router and that is working well for me too.

I uploaded the files from "CAM" to my PDA and found it to be something
I see as complicated :( I will try again later when I have more
patience... I am pulling at my hair at this point! LOL Thanks for your
reply!

Have you made any changes to your security settings on your Access Point?
While the AP and PPC radios can connect and show good signal strength, DHCP
requires that the PPC be able to ask for addresses and the DHCP server
(usually your AP/router, or Wireless Router) be able to respond with them.
If the security isn't right, then the request can't get through. Security
problems could be that it got turned on and wasn't before, or that something
happened to change the Key on either the router or PPC. Do you have WEP or
WPA turned on, and do other devices still work? Laptop, something? I am not
sure if when using DHCP that the addresses are actually filled in on the
screen on an HP. Anyone confirm that they normally are?

A good tool to see your settings is vXIPConfig, or vXUtil, both available at
www.cam.com for free.
