Networking Help

Okay, so we have a wireless router, it is directly connected to our Home PC which I am on at the minute. However my Laptop, which has been connected for over half a year, has decided to stop working. It has some problem trying to acquire the IP address and I always end up with a little yellow triangle which tells me that I have little or no connectivity.

Just need some help please. Could be struggling with OTFFMO on Sunday if this problem isn't fixed.

This is my basic hardware:
- Belkin wireless router
- Dell Inspiron 1300
- Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card.

Any and all help appreciated.

have you tried connecting the laptop directly to the router?

It's really annoying and needs fixing.

Ive had similar problems with my belkin router. Had it sat next to my pc with limited or no connectivity. Reset the router and reinstalled my wireless drivers and it now kind of works

Yeah mines sat next to it now.

By resetting it, do you just mean turn it on and off again?

And my wireless driver is built into the Laptop.
