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

Terry,

I can get into my router set-up with no problem... I just cannot get
into the Access Point Set Up at ALL???!! OMG this is driving me
insane! I am truly understand about computers and how they work more
than the average person... BUT this is truly a dead issue for me :(

What is the step for me to get into the Access Point without shutting
down the Internet??? I know I have to put 192.168.2.254 in the Address
Bar... I know to change the setting for the Internet Protocal (TCP/IP)
under Properties... still NADA.......nothing happens and my internet
connection is gone.

I am on my land-desktop trying to do all this.......

When the screen finally changes when trying to access "192.168.2.254",
"the page cannot be displayed".

ooohhhhh Headache time for me!!! LOL

Sounds like you are using 128 bit WEP (64 is only 10 characters) Are you
sure you are set up correctly for this on the pda and typing in the correct
character string.

HI Terry!

Anyone that logs on to my secured, wireless network need only a code...
a long one for that matter :)
I cannot even get into the router or access point Set Up screen anymore
without turning off the internet..errrrgggg!!!!
I believe the WEP is normally on..... I am on the wireless internet via
my laptop as I write type this...

THANKS for helping me out here.... I just wish it would go back to
normal :(

I was going to ask if WEP was even turned on, based on the statement
family
can all log on when they come over. I have a USB stick with my key on it
for
when friends/family come over with laptops.

Is WEP normally on or off?

Sure sounds like a mix up in the security settings (or maybe the MAC
address is blocked). Can you temporarily disable WEP or WPA on the
router
and try for an address?

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.
