my brother's laptop will not connect to any wireless network. keeps pulling a 169. number. i have the mac address set in my router to pull 192.168.1.111 but its not. even with a new usb plugged in it wont work. wired works just fine. what do you guys think. any help would be great.

Yeah, but the mac filter is different than the DHCP list. Check on it.

Also install the latest driver, then run these commands from an elevated prompt -

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

thanks for all your help. I got it to work I had to change the ip address in the static ip mapping from 192.168.1.111 to .112 still dont know whats taking the .111 address but it works now. my mapping starts at .100 to .112 with .111 not being used. if any one might know way let me know. other then that it is working fine.
