Network stuck identifying

[rjshield]

I have a acer aspire 6935 running windows vista. when I connect to a network via WiFi it gets stuck on the identifying stage. When I set a static IP address the problem does not occur. The router is assigning IP addresses to all other computers correctly  i have re-installed the  driver for the wireless card and the problem is still there.

If anyone has any ides how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

DHCP server seems to be offline in that network check your router

All other computers are getting IP addresses fine from the router.

what is your IP pool size in that router? that might be it

Just leave it with a static ip, what's the problem with that?

I'll stick with static as long as it works, i mean you only have to do it once, but like levent said it may also be the DHCP pool, just double check your router see what's going on there, make sure DHCP is working fine 

 

But I got this same problem too with my laptop, couldn't find out what was wrong so i stuck with the static IP lol, for me it was the laptop something was wrong with it, cause every other client machine just got the DHCP no problem

Check your ipconfig maybe the ip is assigned and there is another problem.

Disable IPv6 on the network card. There was a  bug a few years back what caused issues like this.

 

after that do this,

 

set nic to DHCP,

run as admin cmd,

type,

ipconfig /release,

ipconfig /renew,

ipconfig /flushdns

 

then post result.
