Stuck on "waiting for network to be ready" while connecting to wireless network
I just moved into a new place. My computer was the host of a wireless network, but the new place has cable already set up and a (defunct) wireless network.
I took my old wireless router (linksys wrt54gs v2) and connected it to the cable modem for the network. The host computer (on now) works and connects to the internet. However, when the other computer tries to connect it goes through the normal stuff but hangs on "waiting for network to be ready". On the "repair" function, it appears to get stuck while renewing the IP address. I didn't change any settings on the router, but I did unplug the cable modem to reset it.
Both computers are on winXP also.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
manually configure the ip address

Hello!
I follow this thread because it deals with my problem.
How to 'manually configure'?
Sorry, I am just learning abour networks. But, I do know the IP address of the router. Is that useful?
