Win7 & XP network issue ?

Hope this is the right place to post...Seven Forums was great with helping setup two 7 machines...got nothing on the following from Microsoft forums...

[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Tim/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]Running network with Win 7 Pro and XP Home Edition. Have one problem laptop that connects to/recognizes the wireless router...but can't connect to the internet ? Prior to changing the WEP key for the system...this laptop would connect ?

Have another laptop and a couple printers working fine on this wireless router (keys changed also on these)...but the Toshiba laptop will not go on-line ?

The only other thing that changed is the 2 desktops now have Win 7 Pro...the other laptop that's connecting is XP Home SP3 and the problem Laptop is also XP Home SP3, Have checked and double checked the key...it is correct and must be if the router recognizes the laptop in the router configuration/attached devices.

Please suggest what might be going on here...and how I can get the laptop re-connected to the Internet ?

On problem laptop...Network Connections shows a status of "Connected" as does the little network icon in system tray.

Thanks, Tim

Thanks for helping aem...here's the two ipconfig /all's...there are definitely differences but I know very little about networks/ip configuration.

Note: unless I manually set ip address on problem laptop to 192.168.0.7...the router does NOT recognize the laptop ? ( I get ip address of 169.254.57.152 if set to auto ip )

Thanks...one problem I have is the Toshiba came equipped with a network/internet configuration software ( Toshiba ConfigFree ) and that has complicated things a little since I'm used to manually configuring the various PC's at home.. I'm off to the office now and will tackle this problem laptop tomorrow....and post back if I still have issues ?

One question...my main desktop has BitDefender Firewall enabled...but why would this affect communication from the Router to the laptop ? There is currentrly no AV or firewall (XP Firewall disabled) enabled on the laptop until I can get an internet connection.

Progress...sort of....the issue with the software is that it has worked relatively flawlessly for 3 or 4 years...it's just started burping a week ago ( if that's the cause )

I'm down to just three settings I think:

IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No (Needs to be 'yes')
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No ( Needs to be 'yes')
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No (Needs to be 'yes')
DNS Servers........................: Needs to be 192.168.0.1

Is there a way I can manually set these in XP ? Cannot find them in the TCP settings ?

Is the tcp/ipv4 setting in your "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection" adapter set to Obtain IP address automatically. One would think not give by this.

Sorry...I know this is confusing based on the multiple posts I've made. The "Obtain IP address automatically is not set to automatic because if I do,...then the router does not recognize the laptop and the laptop network icon has a red X and says little or no connectivity ?

Here's the ipconfig \all with the ip automatic setting: ( Also the laptop does not lsit this as connection as "tcp/ipv4" but as "local area wireless connection 3" )
