I cannot re-establish wireless access. I have an HP Pavilion DV8125nr Media Center laptop that I have used wirelessly successfully for the last 2 years with my Linksys WRT54G2 wireless G router.I ran into some computer problems that made me have to reinstall Windows XP (the factory original disk had Symantic/Norton on it and since it was expired, I deleted it). Now I get no wireless. I get the error message "Invalid IP", and it comes back with one that starts with 169. When I try to use the "repair IP address" function, it comes back with 0.0.0.0. I saw on Windows help that if you remove Symantic/Norton protection, you have to go to a certain registry key and delete SYMTDI, then you will be fine. I found the key, but that SYMTDI wasn't there. I have tried online suggestions, everybody seems to be having this problem, but none of the solutions seem to work for anybody. I still get the error message "low or no connectivity". Any ideas? I called Comcast (my net provider), they say it is a problem with the router. I contacted Linksys, they say it is out of warranty ,they can't help me, but they don't think it's a router problem anyway. I can't believe i'm having this much trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
