Help wanted: I have a laptop computer here running Win NT from 1997. I have a NetGear Wireless card in a slot. It seems to be correctly installed; that is, the drivers are there, the little green light on the 'television icon' is present, it _says_ it has a very good link, and should be working fine. But the laptop reports "The DHCP client could not obtain an IP address". Furthermore, no one else on the network can see the laptop. The laptop cannot connect to the internet nor see anyone else on tne network either. Yet it claims the link is present and very strong. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Why is it unable to obtain an IP address via DHCP? Thanks for the help.
