I can not get my computer to connect wirelessly to my router signal.  Every other device in my home can do so just fine.  When I try to get my computer connected I usually get a message saying that it can not renew the IP address.  I have repeatedly tried to solve this problem by manually releasing and renewing the IP address through the command prompt, but this does not solve the problem.  What else can I try?

Make sure your network isn't configured with a static IP.
Configure TCP/IP to use DHCP and a Static IP Address at the Same Time (http://www.petri.co.il/configure_tcp_ip_to_use_dhcp_and_a_static_ip_addre ss_at_the_same_time.htm)

Yup, tried that too, but thanks for the suggestion.  Any other ideas perhaps?

Does your computer see your network as an available wireless network?

Yes.
