Trying to set up a wireless LAN for my stepmother and her brother. PC is using a D-Link DWL-G122 connected to a Linksys WRT54GS.

The network was functioning normally and suddenly Windows said that the network had "Limited Connectivity." I rebooted the computer, rolled back the WLAN driver, repaired the connection, moved the router and WLAN adapter, manually assigned an IP, reset the router to factory defaults, updated the router firmware, changed the SSID, disabled WEP, pulled my hair out, and screamed.

The wired connection is fully functional and the WLAN adapter functioned normally on my own WRT54G at home, and connects with pretty good signal strength (54Mbps 80% signal) but can't get an IP assigned to it. Anyone gone through a similar situation?

That's basically part of what I've already done. Thanks for the response though.

This happens to us all the time on our airport network. Our wiring where the airport is somehow has a grounding problem and the wifi will shutdown but not the wired connections. We have to cycle power by unpluging it.

Also we had trouble with phones setting our network off but that was fixed by changing the channels the network talks on. Doubt this is you though.
