Hey everyone.
I've searched through this forum for this error and found about a
thousand of these topics... but after wading through about 30 of them
with no solutions working, I had to post my own topic. Sorry to make it
a thousand and one though.
I'm getting the "Limited or no Connectivity" error when I try to
connect to my wifi network. What happens is I go to the list of
wireless networks, double click on my network "linksys", and it says
"obtaining network address" for a very long time. Then it gives up and
says "limited or no connectivity". Now, I can connect to my neighbor's
wifi just fine. It says "obtaining network address" for only a few
seconds, then says "connected". So I'm not sure if it's a problem with
my computer, why would it connect to one network and not the other? So
this makes me believe it's the router's problem.
But that's not all. My mom's laptop can connect to my wifi perfectly.
No drops, no errors, all is as it should be with her laptop. If her
computer can connect to the router fine, and mine cant, then it makes
me believe it's my computer's problem.
Where is the problem and how do I fix it?
I've already tried installing a few SP2 fixes, but nothing worked.
I've tried the ipconfig /renew thing, and it gave me an error:
"Windows IP Configuration
An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection
: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.
No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its
media disconnected."
ipconfig /all gives me:

What's going on? Is it my computer's fault, my networks fault, or am i
just chemically incompatible with internet connections?
Thanks for the help.

First of all, change your Wi-Fi network's name (SSID) from the default
value of "linksys" to a unique name. Your neighbors might also have a
"linksys" network, and you have to be able to tell which network is
yours.
I suspect that your wireless router isn't connected properly. Your
mother's wireless network connection is getting a public IP address
from Adelphia. Her computer should be getting a private IP address
(probably 192.168.1.x) from your wireless router. Make sure that your
cable modem is connected to the router's WAN (Internet) port, not to
one of the router's LAN ports.
