    Hello!

    I had a problem with the wireless connection, when I try to connect to a network appear a thing that said Limited or no connectivity...I don't know why?

    I buy a router because I thought that networks have a problem but no because said the same thing...So I think that the computer have a problem, but I don't know if are the settings or what?

    My computer is Acer Aspire One ZG5.
    Windows xp.

    If you have a clue please let me know how I can fixed. Please.

    Thanks.

    When you cannot get a DHCP address automatically from your router, your PC assigns a 'default' IP address. Whit this default IP you cannot connect to the internet because its on a different subnet from your router, and you get the popup that says you have limited or no connectivity.

    You need to either:
    1- resolve the issue with the router, which will then successfully assign a DHCP address
    2- assign a static IP address to your PC (from the Network options under TCP/IP) in the same range as your router.
