Limited or no connectivity

what kind of router, how far from the PC with the problem to access point, etc?

The error is saying that you didn't get a DHCP address from the router so your PC ip address isn't on the same network (it will default to a wierd address or none) and thus connectivity is nil, but that could happen for a few reasons not just shitty signal.

If signal strength is poor, figure that out (change location of the router even a small movement can help)

If its not, go into your device manager delete the network adapter reboot let it reinstall the wireless card in case the install of the card is bugged.

A quick "fix" which doesn't solve the real cause but might solve the problem is to not DHCP and to use static IP on the wireless, tons of options.

The other fun issues are cordless phones, nextel phones, etc that can futz the signal as well even though some devices technically shouldn't I know from experience they can.

266835420 if you need to walk through anything.
