I am unable to get DHCP to function with my MS wireless kit on my laptop. I have 3 computers connected to my network using the MN-700 AP. They are running XP pro, W98 and NT4.0. I can connect to all computers using ethernet. When I shutdown my laptop and i
nstall the MN-720 wifi adapter on my XP box it finds the new hardware. I install the drivers from the CD and am able to see the other PC's in the network however I cannot get to the internet. I have a program called weatherbug running and it is able to get
to the network and update the weather information. When I try to use IE I get page cannot be displayed. My ipconfig file looks as follows;

I have been on the phone with Microsoft Broadband Networking support people for over 8 hours with no results. They recommend I call XP support and pay $99.00 to get help. Since I am a network administrator for Novell I felt it should not be that difficult
to resolve. Also since it is all Microsoft products and I paid $150.00 dollars for the kit Microsoft should help support the products without additional charges. I prefer to speak to someone in the UNITED STATES and not in INDIA. So any help would be appre
ciated!!!! I have installed and uninstalled this product everyway I kknow how for the past month and half. Just add I have set a static IP and can connect to all my PC's however I get no internet connectrion not even through weatherbug. The only way to re-
establish network connection is going back to a restore point. I have XP pro sp1 with all the latest updates. I have tried WPA WEP and none for security with the same results.
