Acquiring Network Address (wireless network) question?

Ok so it seems I can connect just fine to an unsecure network, but when I try to connect to a secure network and use the correct password it just sits saying "Acquiring network address" but never connects. I am using a Motorola wireless card if that helps any. How can I get connected? Please help

I would check to make sure your DHCP is setup correctly and also your security configuration on both your router and the Motorola wireless card. Try deleting all the setting and configure the security setting from scratch.





check out this article on security setting.

Reply:You really need to know what type of security is being used on the secure network. Is it using WEP or something else? Your wireless card should have a manual that tells you how to connect to each type of secure network, so find that out first.
Reply:It sounds like you entered the password during the WiFi setup in Windows. That's the first step.





You still have to configure your Access Point (WiFi router) so enter your password there. Then, If the passwords match, you should be able to connect.





If unsure, call the router manufacturer for support or read the FAQs on their website.
