I have a simple home network with two computers one desktop computer and one laptop; and a Netgear DG834G router/modem. The laptop is having a Netgear USB adapter WG111.
The laptop is connected to the network with 'excellent' strength. However it won't connect to the internet and the icons on the taskbar say that the laptop is permanently "Acquiring Network Address." I have checked the settings and it is configured to 'Acquire IP Address Automatically.'
Everything was working perfectly until a few days ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter drivers but still the same issue.
