Happy new year to all,

I have a problem with a wireless laptop and i cant seem to put my finger on it were as other laptops in the network are fine. I join it wirelessly to to the network but it cant seem to pick up an ip address from the dhcp so i manually configure it and it gets full connectivity to the network but it simpley will not go online.

What is it i am overlooking?? i am sure it is something simple but some neutral views are always appreciated.

Its an XP home laptop

cheers
