ur WLAN is not getting IP address. Are u using DHCP server? Give static IP address in WLAN properties on your notebook & try.

Hi, Hope this will help u..

1>connect LAN and check the WLAN light on wireless router It should be ON and solid, If not the you might need to reset the router
2>On your laptop click on start go to run (in case of XP) or go to start then search box (in case of vista)
3>type services.msc
4>For Xp check the wireless zero configuration service should be automatic and running
5>For vista WLAN service should be automatic and running

If this doesn't work, you can contact your Internet service provider.

1) Verify if Wi-Fi WLAN interface of your notebook is OK.
1a) Check whether HW switch is ON and the wireless system service is running.
1b) Switch on the WLAN Access Point (router) SSID broadcasting.
1c) Scan WLAN networks by the notebook. Can you see your home WLAN? If not, there is HW or SW problem in your wireless adapter probably. If WLAN is visible, continue by next steps.

2) Remove all WLAN security on both sides (AP and notebook): Authentication = none/open, encrytption = none.
3) Activate DHCP server in the router and set the dynamic IP assigning on WLAN notebook interface.
4) Select your home WLAN SSID in the list and try to connect.
5) Wait and check status. Is WLAN connected? Does obtain the notebook an IP address?
6) In success case set the WLAN security.

If you go into the setting on your router you need to enable wireless broadcast as it sounds like its not broadcasting.

Is the wireless adapter enabled in network connections? Newer laptops with built in adapters have a button abve keyboard to switch it on and off.

What is the model number of your laptop?

make sure that your wireless network card works.go to the settings of your router and set: wireless network mode:802.11b(or what your car supports) wireless network name:name Wireless SSID Broadcast:enabled Security Mode:wep wep key:write something create a new connection to your laptop with the above settings
