No response DHCP Server?

Question

Comcast just installed a new Netgear Router in my house. The old Netgear Router worked ok except the signal strength was low and that is why they installed a new router. On my landline computer the internet works great. I have two computers that are wireless. One is a PC that runs windows xp and the other is a Laptop that runs windows Vista.
The problem I am having is with the laptop that is running Vista. It shows me as connected to the internet but when I open a browser, the webpage never loads. I ran a diagnostic tool and it says everything is good except during the ping test, which failed, and says no response: DHCP server.
I have shut down the modem, the computer, restarted. I even hooked the laptop up hardline and downloaded new browsers, google chrome, and safari, and still have the same problem.

Answer 1

If you can't ping, then you have to resolve that first. Do you have an ip address from the DHCP server?

Do a ipconfig /release in the command prompt and then do a ipconfig /renew

If you get an ip address that doesn't start with 169.x.x.x then you are getting an IP address from the server.

If not, then you have to resolve that first.

If you do, then ping the server just to be sure. Then do type "tracert www.google.com" in the command prompt without the quotes. You can also just ping google. After that, you can't check your browser but almost for sure, it's just your connection.

What I can guess is that your wireless signal is protected. So you need to check your password and settings. Get help from your spouse, I'm sure s/he can help you
