I got a belkin wireless g+ mimo usb network adapter for my PC and its xp, and I can't stay connected to the internet. Sometimes I go to wireless properties and uncheck internet protocol and then it connects me to "linksys"(which is what I'm using) but then when I open my internet explorer it says that it can't display the webpage. Right when I turn on my computer it connects me to my linksys network, but after it says acquiring network address, it says limmited or no connectivity. And I've tried repaired the connection and it says that there was an error when repairing, and the error is renewing the ip address.

Please help its fustrating, and its probably something really simple that I don't know how to do. Thanks.

I would go to your wireless device properties and hard code your ip addy. For example, if your Linksys router is 192.168.2.50, I would hardcode the wireless device to have an IP addy of 192.168.2.51, subnet mask will auto fill, and your default gateway would be 192.168.2.50 (router's IP), your DNS server will also be whatever your router's IP addy is.

Try the above steps to see if it works out for you. Then, if it does, click on Start, Run, type CMD. At the command prompts, type the following commands, one line each and press enter after each one:

Netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

Netsh winsock reset all

Netsh interface reset

Ipconfig /flushdns

The above steps will completely rebuild the TCP/IP stack on your computer. The tcp/ip stack is the protocol that allows your computer to communicate over the internet. Hope this helps.
