Solved:"Local Only" connection problem
I recently bought a new Linksys router ultra range plus. it can broadcast on n, g and b bands. My laptop has a "g" adapter. but after setting up the router i tried to connect to the router and only get "Local" connection. DHCP is enabled in my router but the "ipconfig /all" command on the laptop says it isnt. My room mates connect fine, one has a Mac and one has an HP running vista (not sure the version). When i connect via ethernet the internet works just fine. im leaning towards an adapter problem but im no pro in this field. iv updated the adapter drivers to the latest update (attempting to solve the problem). does anyone have a clue what may be the problem?
Specs:
Toshiba Satellite P-350D S8900
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
Atheros AR9281 wireless adapter
Linksys N Ultra RangePlus router
