OK, so I had a Netgear Router WGR614 v4 which fried, so I replaced it
with essentially the same router v6. Setup was a snap, just like last
time...except my laptop has exceelent signal strength but limited or no
connectivity. I have tried everything I could think of but can't find
the magic bullet...no idea why this thing can't renew my IP address.

Any thoughts? I'm getting desperate...

I assume that you have a wireless connection. If so, are the router
and the laptop configured with the same SSID, encryption type, and
encryption key?

The OP should realize that getting the encryption key entered correctly can
be quite stressful. The slightest mistake will cause his problem (well it
did for me anyway).
