    "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration


    RESOLVED!!

    I was wondering if someone could help me,
    I recently switched to a new internet provider and now my Windows 7 Laptop will no longer connect to the internet.
    The error message says: "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration

    if someone can help to explain why this is it would be great, there is also another computer in the house running Windows XP which works fine.

    The router is a:
    NetComm NB6PLUS4W Wireless ADSL2+ Router
    The IP configuration for the working XP laptop is:

    I was getting that gosh-awful message, and so was my husband. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the router didn't help mine, but it did help my husband's. So I went to the network and sharing center. On my active networks (which weren't working) I clicked on "connect or disconnect", highlighted my laptop (with the problem), right-clicked on it, chose properties, then connection tab, and clicked on the box that says "connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID)". Clicked okay, then disconnected/reconnected the router (removed power cable, then ether cable, wait 10 seconds, replace ether cable, then power cable in that order). Problem solved!

    Thank you Boggett2001


    Thank you so much...this worked for me after more than 2 years of seeking the answer and having to reset my router every morning before I could access the internet.
