WLan IP problem

i'm in big trouble. no inet connection ower wireless lan.

i connect my netgear ma111 v2 adapter to my pc, install it, choose a wireless network whith internet and get an ip/sn-mask like:
168.254.X.X / 255.255.0.0
i know that this ip is wrong and i know the right ip. manual imput doesn't help. have tryed to reinstall the driver. doesn't help. repairing, too. looks like it doesn't try to get an ip-adress.

have this problem not the first time. new win helped the last time, but not now.

need HELP. PLZ.

Hi,

try to let windows automatically assign a new ip address. when done, click start -> type in cmd -> type in ipconfig -renew and wait a few minutes, then tell me what the operating system says.

because i have a german winXP, have problems whith translation of errors into english.

it says something like:

The operation was assigned to a device, that not a socket is.

maybe if i would know, what it means, fixing this problem would be easyer for me :ops:

zou could say it in german ...we both are german

Hmmm check your decryption.

ok. hier beschreibung in deutsch:

ich schließe den wlan adapter an meinen rechner an (der treiber ist installiert), connecte mich zu einem hotspot und kriege ne falsche ip adresse. die richtige, manuel eingegebene adresse hilft auch nicht. beim reparieren kommt sofort die meldung:

Quote:

Die folgenden Reparaturvorgang sind fehlgeschlagen: Die IP-Adresse wird erneurt.

bei ipconfig -renew ist die fehlermeldung:

Quote:

Beim Aktualisieren der Schnittstelle "Dahtlose Verbindung 3" ist folgender Fehler aufgetreten: Ein Vorgang bezog sich auf ein Objekt, das kein Socket ist.

die 3 in dem namen der verbindung kommt vom neuinstallieren des treibers.
