Acquiring network address in 2Wire http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22376533 en Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:02:11 EDT Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:02:11 EDT Re: Acquiring network address http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22624461 jadinolf :

I've had this happen a couple of times on my 2wire modem with a machine located about 6 feet from it!! Thanks for the instruction, I have used the "sledgehammer" approach of deleting the entire adapter and adding it (and the drivers) back again, but this seems a bit more elegant.
I've done the sledgehammer thing too. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.

Just a note- when I experience this problem, my adapter is always connected to the Home Portal but can't connect to the Internet. It had worked fine for years and all of a sudden I encountered this problem. Changing the adapter or going to a different make made no difference.

Microsoft FIXIT solved my problem by resetting TCPIP. I have waited a considerable to be sure it wasn't a fluke.

I hope this helps someone else.

I just installed the driver and that was it.

2Wire 1800HG
2Wire USB Wireless adapter

This has just begun to happen. I start the computer and my wireless connection icon indicates "acquiring network connection" The connection to the Home Portal is excellent.
If I wait an hour or so, it might finally be connected to the Internet.

I have tried rebooting and removing the adapter. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Searching here was fruitless. Same for Google.

Any ideas? Thanks for reading this.
