Well first off know one installed a static IP your internet provider is the one that will do that for you when you get ready to go online if there are numbers in there remove them and select automatically detect settings. Most likely it is a Dynamic IP all you have to do is make sure that you have the driver installed for your card, your internet connection cable hooked up R-45 cable and once all of this is happening and lit your IP will do the rest if not then reboot the router or the modem not sure what you have they will send the proper routing goodies over the line and off you go. You just need to make sure that you are lit on your end and ready to go if for some reason nothing else works then contact your internet service provider and they will come out and make sure that you get set up.

you need to install modem drivers for dial up internet connection and LAN drivers for DSL connection, the drivers CD normally comes with the system otherwise you can download your required drivers from the DELL WEB SITE

Do you have a good signal strength with the wireless USB adapter?
If not try moving the wireless router away from walls or metal objects and cordless phones, locate the wireless router higher.
See if there is a later driver for the wireless USB adapter, if so download and install it.

Hi,

Before you purchase a new adapter, I would suggest you to install the adapter using the latest adapter drivers. Visit the link below to download the drivers:

Install the adapter using these drivers and connect to the wireless network.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.

There are two solutions that you can try first
Perform system restore to the earlier date that connection working fine
OR
Re install the driver of the wireless adapter
If you need further help please post.
Good Luck

You should call Linksys tech support now. The router needs to be configured manually. The tech that you hired maybe not familiar on how to configure the Linksys router.

go into the device manager and uninstall the wireless adapter. Then click scan for hardware changes and let windows resinstall it. It sounds like a corrupt driver. Before doing so make sure you didnt hit the wireless button that shuts off the connection on the computer. :)

Try disabling "turn off power when not in use" for Windows Xp Inside Device Manager Network Adapters Power Management

I assume they told you to uninstall the software, remove the adapter, then re install driver an re insert adapter, as this normally cures the driver fault. If they didn't try that, if the problem persists the adapter may be faulty although i think it's a software problem. Try not to use Windows to repair connection as it never works and resets your pc's ip address differently than your routers already given it.
