How do you connect to the Internet? It is possible your ISP assign only one public IP and you don't have router or ICS?
This page may help you to find your IP.

ipconfig
Or you can use ipconfig /all command to find the TCP/IP settings. ... 3) If you
get "DHCP server unreachable" while using ipconfig /renew, you may want to ...

WOW WTF STRANGE!!!

this also happens for me, ive had to live with it 1 year.

strange, first time i came into this section, was gonna post up, saw this topic and WOWOWOW.


btw, i also use a netgear router, they suck or what?

Im going for a new router soon..

It just disconnects whenever it feels like it, when playing games, downloading files and stuff, really ******* me off..

To turn, i gotta turn off ALL power, including pc, and back on we go, sometimes it dont even work, i could be trying for up to 1 hour to get it to work again

I was getting the same problem with my netgear router.... Try going to your default access page (located on the bottom of your router ...should be at http://192.168.0.1/ and user and pass should be admin and password) and find Wireless Settings... If you simply disable encyrption (under encryption strength) and apply, the problem should stop. The only question is if this is completely secure... I'm not much of a networking guy so would anyone know if this is safe?
