ok... been a long day, first my radiator blew and now i cant get my wireless router to work. Ive been messing with it all day, my laptop reads the signal, gets great reception at that, but something is severely wrong with my IP address. I cant get it. when i go into the profile/properties it is unavailable, and ive tried running ipconfig in dos and returns nothing. what can possible be going on for me to have lost this ability to get on the internet. please help, must get something right today. one more thing when in properties for my wireless connection and check the properties of TCP/IP it also wont retrieve anything. i cant make a static IP address, and im about to lose it.
