Windows XP connects, but cannot receive network address

Okay. This is a tricky one, as I do not have admin privileges on the Windows computer (I am testing it for my school, so I am rather limited at to what I can do).
Basically, I have my Airport Express set up (from my Macs) to broadcast a G signal protected by WPA2. I connected Windows to the network just fine, but it cannot acquire a network address.
I cannot get into the IP settings for the computer (unless someone knows a way around their blocks), so does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

Hi
Can you access run from the Start Menu? If you can key in cmd or command. At the Prompt issue ipconfig /all. Should display IP address currently in use.
If you know the PC's Name (Right click on My Computer > Properties > Network) then you should be able to ping its name which should return the IP address in use.
Beyond that and unless someone else offers something different you really need to know the admin account's details to go any further.

WRT54G - limited or no connectivity - stalls at "aquiring network address"

Ok, so I decided to move my modem and router to a different location in the house and unplugged and re-set everything. I went through the basic setup and finally got to the point where I can get internet when the pc is wired to the router. Wireless, the pc is picking up the network fine but when it gets to "aquiring network address" it just stalls and eventually I get the message that I have limited or no connectivity. When I righ click on the network connection icon and click "repair" connection it cannot verify network address. My xbox 360 is also picking up the network but fine but will not connect. Everything was working fine beforehand but I cannot for the life of me figure out what setting needs adjustment.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

FWIW, this is similar to a problem I just posted. I got around the problem by selecting properties on the connection, and changing the settings under 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties' to use a specific IP address.
These settings worked for me:
IP 192.168.1.101
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS server 192.168.1.1
Alternate DNS server 192.168.1.2
I haven't yet found a solution to allow me to go back to obtaining an IP address automatically. Did you?

Hello bentley1212,
The article linked below details a number of steps, such as removing and re-adding the account on your iPad Air, that can help restore your iPad Air's ability to receive e-mail.

WRT54GS and MAC OSX "has internet connection, but cannot load page"

Ok, I have skimmed through the threads here and the FAQ and still am having troubles. I amt trying to connect a MacbookPro to this wireless router. I have had it connected before which adds to my frustration. I ran all the system diagnostics and come to a point where it says, "This device has an internet connect but cannot load __________. Make sure you have the address typed in correctly." My MAC picks up the router signal, but in the diagnostics it goes as follows. AirPort - Yes Airport Settings - Yes Network Settings - Yes ISP - Yes Internet - No Server - No Please, any help is very appreciated.

Also tried the factory reset and starting from scratch and nothing...

I can send, but cannot receive E-Mail, suddenly.

I am a new convert to the entire world of Apple, aside from a longtime Safari proponent and user. A month and a half ago, I purchased a MacBook Pro 15" (you all know the specs, I went with 512 g flash drive upgrade) and am extremely happy with it. I have Windows 7 x64 installed on a 200g partition, solely so I can continue to use a few SONY apps that I need for video and audio editing for my business. These apps are NOT available for Apple machines and are essential to my photo restoration and video transfer and editing business. Ok, that's the environment.
Yesterday, as I normally do, I woke up, coffee, check on all of my animals, Mac starts with scheduled start-up at 7:20am as per usual while I am busy with my 'wake up' duties. After the wife was off to work and I was ready to check E-Mails and check for any correspondence from clients, I open 'mail,' (I have it set to start at scheduled start-up) and notice there is no E-Mail in my two pop accounts. I have a Gmail account and the iCloud account. 'This is odd.' I invoke 'receive' a couple times. Nothing. I turn on my phone (Blackberry) and it starts making noise as it normally does when E-Mail comes in. This is weird. I reboot my lovely Mac. No joy. No E-Mail. So I start troubleshooting. I figure out that I can send from all four accounts but cannot receive on any of them.
I reboot to the Windows partition. I open Live Mail. It fills up on my two pop accounts. Even more weirder. I have the Gmail account on this partition also, but it rarely receives E-Mail so it can wait. No iCloud on the Windows side. We all understand that.
On the Apple side, I removed all accounts from mail and re-established them with no resulting solution being apparent.
I have made no changes at my account on the server (webhero.com) so I am baffled. I looked for solutions here, but have found nothing, which is why this is being written.
Because I have seen no solutions, I consider that something unique has occurred to my computer that is not a new issue with many other Mac users.
My system is updated to all recent standards so there isn't much more to post
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks for looking,
Kelly J.

Personally I will never leave Windows behind. Mac just doesn't cut it for me. For one it is to much of a closed system and the door is closing even more as I type this. MS isn't that much better with the release of Win 8 (which I will not be using at all except for Tech supporting others).
Apple does not like to give the user options and if they do you have to know the command line to implement them, in some cases. In others there simply is no user choice, like sounds for events.
With the advent of the newer Mac's with Non upgradeability, IE the retina models and the newest iMacs, this is certainly not the systems for me.
The OS? Well IMHO OS X isn't any better then Windows and in most case I like Windows better. IMHO Windows is an easier system to use. Not sure about Win 8.
Been running Windows for 20+ years and I can count on one hand the number of BSODs I've had. But then I run Clean system and the desktops I built myself. Notebooks are mostly Dell Business line models and my one MBP.
BSODs happen from bad hardware or drivers for that hardware. OS X is slightly better but Apple is not immune from writing or using bad drivers and the hardware is no better built then most any Windows PC. It just comes in a different case.
Apple Lived on the "It Just works" saying for a long time. That is not the case today, as you may see from all the posts in all the Apple hardware forums.
I'm Fixento get back to work, Y'all. Ga day.

HT201413 When connecting iPod Nano, getting message that "an ipod is connected but cannot be identified properly".

When I connect my iPod Nano to the same installation of iTunes that we use for my wife's iPod Classic I am getting the message that "an iPod is connected but cannot be properly identified". This has worked before and I can connect my wife's iPod Classic and synch with no problems. I have tried resetting the Nano but that did not fix it. I am running Windows Vista. Has anyone else had this problem?

I fixed it. In itunes click help, run diagnostics, run tests, the test comes to ipod and says it is not running correctly so click the HELP and follow the instructions to the end. Mine was fixed after i restarted computer!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again.

MS Outlook 2011 - can send but cannot receive

I converted from a PC to a Mac tonight. I used MS Outlook as my mail client. Conversion went very smootly and files all moved. Set up account as per ISP instructions (Time Warner Cable). I can send email but cannot receive. Since the emails are on the server TWC says it is not their problem. Has anybody else had this? Any ideas?

Have you contacted Microsoft since it's their software?
