So I was trying to connect my Nintendo DS to my internet... but it said the security access points were not supported. Or something along those lines. So I went on the Nintendo DS site and it said i have to change the security options for my router to WEP. It gave me this site to go to and it was about my Netgear router settings (DG834G). I went to wireless settings and under security options, a bubble was filled in which meant it was WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key). I clicked the WEP option and it a box came up asking me to generate a WEP key passphrase. I made one and it gave me 4 keys underneath. I went to get some paper and a pen to write them down, but I came back and my laptop was disconnected. The only computer that works with the internet is the one which wasn't using wireless, but instead connected by a cord. I switched the security options back to the WPA-PSK setting. But when I tried to reconnect to my laptop, it asked for a network key. I typed that in but it constantly says acquiring network address. No matter what I do it won't connect to the internet. How do I make it connect again? If you need any further details ask and I will answer.Internet Questions - Netgear WEP?
Try talking to tech support on the netgear website for help changing it to wep. I'm not sure about netgear but a lot of companies have an instant message chat with a tech set up.Internet Questions - Netgear WEP?
choose wpa personal....i also get in the same situation as you when i set the security level to wep, i cant get an internet connection after

';acquiring ip address'; problem?
I have a DELL desktop computer, using SP2, Home Edition XP. I have wireless linksys-G USB network adapter. One computer has the cable box and router sitting with it and the router will send signal to the other computer in another room. The computer that has the cabel box and router is fine and connecting good except for earlier today but it's fine now. At the same time, the other computer that had the wireless card wouldn't connect at all and it still won't. I called for help and been told to right click on the computer icon where the red x was. Then I viewed the listed available networking and tried to connect. I was asked to put in a network key. So I put that in and it seemed to solve the problem.
Few minutes later after I thought I had everything solved, the problem started again. I tried putting in the network key again and this time, it won't connect at all. It keeps saying ';acquiring network address'; and it's been doing that for a long time with no change at all. I don't understand why it worked before but it won't now. I cannot connect to the internet on that computer now. The signal says it is low which is nothing new, it always says low but the number or signal strength number would indicate how the signal is doing. The signal would be around 1.0 or 2.0. The highest number I ever got was 36 which is really great.
I already tried shutting down my computer a few times, including when I unplugged the cable and router for a few minutes then plugged it back in. No luck.
I am not a very technical person so please explain what I can do in steps in words that are easy to understand.
Thanks';acquiring ip address'; problem?
I had the same problem.If your internet was working before just set your laptop to a previous date when it was working. to do this:
1. go to start%26gt;all programmes
2.go to accessories
3.go to system tools
4.go to system restore
5. choose restore my computer to a previous date
6.choose the date it was last working and follow the steps from there
THIS WILL DELETE ALL THE FILES YOU HAVE CREATED OR CHANGED AFTER THE DATE YOU HAVE CHOSEN
hope this helps =)

Hi Big boy,
I think your case is based on wireless security mode. First you should check your which is the wireless security mode is used in wireless Router Eg:128-bit WEP Encryption, WPA Security, then set same wireless security mode in your computer, after try to connect. please let me know the result';acquiring ip address'; problem?

I cant seem to figure out what the problem could be...

How do I change Windows drive icons?
In Windows XP (it may still happen in Vista, but I haven't yet observed it), I remember that, for empty memory card slots, the drive icon in My Computer would be washed out. If I would put a card into that drive, the icon would appear in full color. In the system Registry (or in Disk Management or anywhere else), is there a way to set this up? (in regedit, I am looking at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIco?) This way, I'll have Icon A appear when there's nothing in the drive, and Icon B appear when I put a card in the drive. Thanks for the help!
NOTE: I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. The Registry key I mentioned early SEEMS to work exactly as it did in Windows XP, but I could be wrong.
ANOTHER NOTE: I am planning to use this on drives that do not neccesarily appear in Disk Management (ex: network memory card drives). If your method absolutely must use Disk Management and/or not work with network drives, then do post it, but otherwise try to avoid this kind of problem.
A third note (of slightly less significance): I used this article from PC Magazine to learn how to set up icons in the registry. It does not address my issue with having two icons for a drive. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,202How do I change Windows drive icons?
To change the icon displayed within explorer for a drive requires changes to the windows registry.
1. Create (if it does not already exist) the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ DriveIcons\ X\ DefaultIcon
where 'X' is the drive letter of the drive for which you wish to change the drive icon.
2. Change the key's default value to hold the fully qualified name of the icon file (e.g. 'c:\myicons\cdrive.ico').
If the file contains more than one icon then follow it with a comma and the zero-based index of the icon (e.g. 'c:\myicons\mylib.dll,2').
3. To see the effect restart Windows - although, depending on the version of windows simply refreshing the window might be sufficient.

How to change router setting.?
we just got a wireless router awhile back and i wanted to set it up so no one could connect to our network via WI FI, the default setting was set on WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and i wanted to put it on WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) with a password of my choice, the router and modem are both down in my basement, and the wireless adaptor is upstairs on our 2nd pc, but when i put it on the WPA-PSK setting i had internet down here still but not upstairs, my question is how can i put it on that setting so no one can get on my network and still get my connection upstairs?How to change router setting.?
1. Connect your computer to one of the LAN ports on the router. (or Wirelessly)
2. Open your web browser and type in 192.168.1.1. Press Enter
3.If it asks you for login information it is the following:
NETGEAR ROUTERS:
Login: admin
Password: password
LINKSYS ROUTERS
Login: admin
Password: admin
4. Click on Wireless Settings
5. Select the WPA-PSK option. And Enter a passphrase. Make it something you can easily remember, but it hard for someone else to guess. It should be between 8 - 63 characters. (BobTheBuilderIsGreatFun would be a great passphrase for instance!)
6.Make sure you hit Apply
7. Restart ALL computers you are connecting to the router.
If the computer is WIRED:
1. Plug it into the Network Interface Card in the back of the PC first, then the LAN interface on the back of the router.
2. Repeat the Same with all PC's connecting with Ethernet wire.
3. Boot the PC.
4. Go to your Network Connection Center, and try to connect to the network.You should be prompted for a passphrase or WPA Key. Just be sure you type it EXACTLY how you set it up in the router.
Bingo! you should be connected AND secure! :-)How to change router setting.?
Your up stairs computer is still trying to connect to it via WEP and its not reconizing it. Scan for a new network, click the network and then push WPA instead of WEP and try that. If its not working go to control panel-network connections and delete the wireless one named after your network and try again. (I believe you open network settings, right click wifi connection, then properties i could be wrong)
Also be sure your SSID broadcast is on, otherwise you have to maneully input the network name while you set up. I suggest you turn it off when you get things going though, makes it so its hard to find. You can also turn on MAC adress filtering if you feel the need to but it gets a bit complicated to explain.
