Cant Acquire IP address

I recently reset my WRT54g wireless router in order to reset the forgotten password and now I try to connect but no IP address can be acquired from my wireless devices. I set everything up to be automatic and did nothing manually. Any suggestions?

First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. You should connect automatically.
If you still have trouble, in the computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.
Also, if you are using encryption, note the following:
For WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1" (you can find this in the router) into your computer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
For WPA or WPA2, enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.

Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0.0629 constantly Acquiring IP Address with WPA-2 Personal

Gang,
I'm trying to convert my home network over to WPA2-Personal and the Anyconnect SMC 3.0.0629 is drivng me crazy. My desktop works fine. My iPhone 4 works fine.
The SMC actually works, but it's constantly "Acquiring IP Address." However, the host actually HAS an IP Address. An IPCONFIG /ALL confirms that the host has an address. In fact, Internet access is fine. I'm using it now to compose this post. The problem is the constant "Acquiring IP Address" because every few minutes the SMC pops up "Connected to.." followed by my SSID. Pretty distracting.
If I change nothing else and just connect to my neighbors access point that uses WEP, it works fine. If I connect to some random open access point in my neighborhood that's wide open, again it works fine. The problem seems to be limited to WPA-2. I even set a static IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateways and when using WPA-2 the SMC will still constantly display "Acquiring IP Address" when clearly it doesn't need to.
If you have any ideas, it would greatly appreciate some feedback.
Thanks!
-Charles

This just repeats over and over. 192.168.1.102 is exactly the address it should be using and IPCONFIG /ALL confirms it. It just keeps repeating this loop over and over....
Further diagnosis:
I went into the Wireless Network Connection properties and unbound the "Cisco AnyConnect Network Access Manager Filter Driver" from the stack. I then went over and selected my SSID and entered the WPA-2 Personal key from the native Windows applet and everything started working just fine. I can even VPN into work using the Cisco ASM Client utility, it just doesn't show the available wirless networks anymore. I have to use the native Windows applet for that now.
So I guess this is a workaround but it sure looks to me like the Cisco client has a problem knowing it has a valid IP Address when using a WPA encryption protocol.

Can't Acquire IP Address - Please Help!

Please help! I recently bought an aluminum macbook and despite having no problem connecting to my home network through airport, have been unable to connect to the network at the school where I teach.
We have several mac experts at my school, a mac lab, and a mac specialist at our school board, but no one has been able to help me. Here is how my most "mac literate" student describes the problem I am experiencing:
The computer cannot acquire IP address from our wireless network.
We have tried multiple logins (including one that is known to work on the network from another computer) but we still cannot get an IP address.
We are able to authenticate to the router but we cannot receive a DHCP lease regardless of settings and configuration.
The problem is not the account information. Can't be hardware because wireless works at home and in other locations. What is going on here, and how can it be fixed? Others with the new aluminum macbook at my school have not had this problem.
If I am unable to get online with this computer at work I may need to exchange it for another or abandon it altogether --which as a 20 year mac user I am loathe to do. I need online access for my job. Please, please help me figure this out

Well sounds to me like they might have MAC filtering . No, I do not mean apple macintosh but Media access control addresses. The wifi may lock down by the unique hardware address of each and every piece of netowrking equiptment.
If you are so desperate for work connectivity, why not get the static ip address information adn enter that in to see if you can connect. If you still can not after that then you need to ask the IT staff at your school for access.

Why cant I connect address book to more than one email account.

Why cant I connect address book to more than one email account I have 3 but can only do this for my icloud account ?? I am using the correct pass word but still no joy ????

I bought an iPhone 3G this morning (wahoo!), and can confirm that I have setup both an IMAP (for my home server) and an exchange server (for work).
Exchange is set to push email (so will get email as it arrives) and IMAP is currently set to manual, and is working like a charm.. With multiple accounts you get to set one as the preferred which it will default to when composing (but you can change the accounts on the compose screen)
Only minor annoyance is signature is shared between both accounts, other than that am loving it!

WRT54G - cannot acquire network address

Hi All,
I having a particularly difficult problem I have not been able to solve. I've searched linksys forums, compaq forums, and google in general. Here are the particulars:
EQUIPMENT:
Linksys WRT54G Ver 3 router
Compaq Presario V2000 laptop
with Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN (built-in)
PROBLEM:
When attempting to connect wireless to the 54G v3, an IP is never successfully acquired from the DHCP. It fails during the "acquiring network address" phase, and returns with "limited or no connectivity". IP acquisition failure is confirmed with an IPconfig address of 169.254.x.x (APIPA).
CONFIGURATION:
1. this is a new installation (laptop & router are clean, out-of-box)
2. Vanilla parameters on WRT54G (no security, etc.)
3. Upgrade firmware (on 54G), run factory reset to default parameters, assigned a SSID = sully
THINGS TRIED:
1. Compaq works FINE when connected wireless to another router (54G ver 2).
2. A different laptop (Dell) works fine with the Ver 3 router (wireless).
3. Wired connection works fine with Compaq to Ver 3 router.
4. Upgraded firmware on 54G ver 3 to current.
5. Download & re-install broadcom drivers from Compaq (which are actually OLDER than the ones originally on the machine)
6. Tried adjusting beacon, fragmentation & RTS as per a posting elswhere on this site.
7. Tried MS patch KB884020, as per a posting elsewhere on this site (and have since backed it out).
8. Tried resetting the TCP/IP stack as per MS KB299357 & KB811259.
I'm stumped and apparently so are all the standard tech support channels.
Any Ideas?
PLEASE (I don't mean to be arrogant - just frustrated with inadequate/incompetent support) - don't send me the "canned" newbie "try this" responses. EVERYTHING has been tried and this simply makes no sense. I appears to me to be a problem specific to compaq/broadcom & linksys 54G ver3 and no one wants to take ownership of the problem.

I have exactly the same problem with same laptop Compaq Presario V2000 with the same network adapter, although I'm using a different router BEFW11S4. I was able to get connection by using an static IP and DNS address, however I can't go online. Tech support hasn't been able to help me so I wanted to know if you were able to get a solution to your problem.
By the way, I can use my laptop with a Netgear router and I don't get this problem.
Thanks

I can no longer acquire IP Address in XP

I have two computers, an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Both are partitioned with Bootcamp so I can run AutoCAD. I also like to access the internet, etc while I'm in PC mode working. Both machines were fine for months, the MacBook still is. The iMac is great as a Mac, but suddenly can not acquire an IP Address as a PC with my Airport. If I hardwire it with ethernet, I can FTP updates, but I still can not visit any HTTP sites. I've tried resetting, renewing and repairing ... Any thoughts?

After 10.6.8 upgrade, MacBook PRO doesn't acquire IP address via 802.11n wireless connection

After upgrading a MacBook Pro to 10.6.8, the machine connects to an 802.11n wireless access point, but will not acquire an IP address using DHCP. An iMac running 10.6.7, and an iPad2 both successfully connect and acquire DHCP IP addresses to the same access point. The access point is an HP Procurve MSM422 access point, a commercial data center level access point.
The MacBook Pro did acquire a connection and IP address when running 10.6.7, so this seems to be a regression introduced with the upgrade to 10.6.8.
The MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 will acquire an 802.11g connection to the same access point without any problems. The access point has different SSIDs for 802.11n and 802.11g.
Changing the IP settings on the MacBook Pro from DHCP to a fixed IP address doesn't solve the problem.
Just wanted to document this situation for those following problems with migration to 10.6.8.
If anyone uncovers the reason and has a work around for this situation, please share. I'll keep looking, too. I plan to do a combo install of 10.6.8 later today to see if this remedies the situation.

Deleting and recreating the AirPort connection doesn't help this problem. Neither does turning the AirPort on/then off, going from DHCP to FIXED IP addresses, or repairing permissions. I even upgraded the firmware in the HP MSM422 access point from 5.4.29 to 5.5.1 and that didn't make any difference, either.
Using the combo installer to reinstall 10.6.8 did fix the problem.

Windows XP failing to acquire network address whether wired or wireless

Hi guys,
I initially asked this question elsewhere because it was happening in OSX as well, though now that the OSX side of things has been fixed it is purely a Windows XP problem, and is a different problem to the one in Mac OSX.
The problem seems simple enough, in that Windows XP just refuses to acquire a network address when connecting to the internet whether wired or wirelessly. I spent the best part of 7 hours on this on Monday, and after trawling through countless web pages I seemed to establish that there was an error with the AFD Driver (which, as I understand, is one of three required for the DHCP Client service to run). I was on the verge of probably doing something monumentally stupid and trying to repair/replace that driver when in a moment of genius (which should have arrived significantly sooner in the day) I asked my fiancee when the last time was that she could remember the internet working properly. She said it was the day before just after she agreed to install SP3, but the installation failed. So I used System Restore and rolled the system back to before that point, et voila. Everything was fine.
Not appreciating the path taken to fix her iMac, my fiancee then tried to install SP3 again and the same problem reoccurred. Another System Restore fixed it. The problem now is that on startup Windows XP seems to revert back to the same state, and will refuse to acquire an IP address. A System Restore back to the same time will fix it. However, whilst this takes little longer than an actual startup, I was wondering whether or not anybody had any bright ideas for a permanent fix to this problem.
All ideas, solutions and pearls of wisdom welcomes with open arms.

Try using a system that is able to connect to the internet in Windows. Then go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2FCDE6CE-B5FB-4488-8 C50-FE22559D164E and then download SP3 to the hard drive of that system. Then using the CD/DVD burning of your choice that you have for Windows burn the disc image file to CD/DVD and then insert it to the system that has the issue and upgrade it to SP3 that way.
I used to use Windows update to get service pack, but one time it did not download and install correctly on an HP system. Since then I have went to Microsoft and downloaded the Service Pack and when it said that it installed successfully I deleted the file I downloaded. I never had issues when I get them and install them that way. The only Service Pack I had issues with was Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. I downloaded it from Microsoft to the hard drive and after it said it was installed successfully I deleted the file. I used it for a while then I shut the system completely down. Then when I booted into Windows I went to put in my password and nothing happened. I tried moving the mouse nothing happened. Then I did a hard reset, booted into Mac OS X, used Boot Cap Assistant, removed the partition, downgraded to Windows XP 32-bit and now miss all the features that come with 64-bit Operating Systems. I am now able to use 2.5GB of RAM out of the 8GB that is in my system. I thought with Windows 32-bit that 4GB what the most that could be used.

WRT55AG can't acquire IP address

I have the router serving both wired and wireless network connected to a PPPoE DSL connnection (Verizon). The wired network is working fine and can access the internet. The wireless laptops can't. When trying to connect, they can't acquire a IP address. The Linksys setup CD and Easylink don't find the router via wired or wireless. The PPPoE connection is set up per the FAQ.

in the wired comp open internet explorer and in the address bar type
192.168.1.1 ... it may ask u for a username n passwd ,
leave the username blank and the passwd field type admin
and once u log into the routers setup interface ... u wiill find a tab called wireless
click on tht , change the wireless ntw name to someother name n change the channel to 11
and save the settings ... this shuld moslty fix ur prob

Photosmart 7520 can't acquire IP address

I have a new Photosmart 7520 and I'm unable to connect it wirelessly to the network. It is unable to acquire an IP address. I've tried the wizard as well as the set-up option and neither work. The MAC filter is disabled. Not sure what to do.

this printer has been a nightmare since I purchased it in January, I had the same problem, I struggled with it for a month before I gave in and phone HP support and they got it to connect but it took them 3 hours to do it, they promised an update
would fix the issue, have you turned on your printer to update automatically?, I got the update and it instructed me to turn off the printer so the update could take effect which I did. Could not turn it back on again so left it overnight but next morning it was the same and I had to unplug it from the wall and plug it back in again to get it to turn on. When I turned it on again I had lost my internet connection again, struggling to get it to connect again and called cloud support who set up a crazy IP address , no working printer and hung up after sending me an e mail to instruct my ISP provider how to make changes.
Called HP printer support and they got it printing again but I have lost web services, I can log in but it say's not connected to network so I have to call cloud services again. I have a 7510e photosmart printer aswell and never had all these problems.
Call HP and get them to set it up for you, I went thru 2 full sets of XL size ink cartridges and a full stack of paper, pretty expensive with the price of ink. Good luck.

Having issues with WRT54GS router acquiring network address after wireless connection.

I've been experiencing problems acquiring a network address after making a wireless connection with the WRT54GS wireless router. I have a Comcast cable modem connected to the internet port of the router and after configuring the SSID and the 64 bit WEP key, I can connect to my router's SSID, but since I can't get an IP address, never connect to the Internet. I've already cloned the laptop's mac address to no avail. Even after configuring a static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, still cannot connect. I can Ping and Traceroute from the router but not the PC. I can ping localhost and host IP address from the laptop but not the default gateway. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, SJ

Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Try to access the internet when you connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Status page. Check the Internet IP address on the status page of the router.
If you are able to access the Internet with the Wired connection to the router then try to create a new wireless network on your router.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Change the wireless network name SSID and change the channel to 11. Save the settings. Go to Wireless security sub tab and check the wireless security settings. Click on Wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled. Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Try to connect to the new wireless network and see if that works.
How many wired and wireless computers do you have in the network?

WuSB54G can't acquire IP address

I've wirelessly connected wrt160N v3 wireless router to a machine with a wuSB54G v4 usb wireless adapter. The machine with the USB adapter appears to correctly connect to the main wireless router (wrt160N) OK, but the machine with the adapter is never able to acquire an IP address. All my setup and security settings appear correct and they are both set to acquire acquire an Ip address automatically. I am able to get an IP with another machine connected to the wrt160N with no problem. Funny thing is I've used the usb wireless with a D-link router with absolutely no problem.
Any ideas on what I'm missing?

Whats the OS installed on a computer in which you have installed WUSB54G adapter?
Whats the Wireless settings you have setup on your Router, May be you can try to lower down the security on your router and then try to connect to your wireless network.
