I've been working with a guy in the Virus/Malware forums of this site. But after one of the tests we ran I couldn't get onto the Internet anymore. My Laptop is a Dell Latitude D520. When I pull up the "Network Connections" it has 3 connections: "Local Area, Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integr.", "Wireless Network, Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card" (that's the one I use), "1394 Connection, 1394 Net Adapter". When I scroll over the icon on the bottom of my desktop it says I'm connected to my wireless network but I don't have an IP and "Repairing" it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi CK07

Try the IPconfig command.

Go to start, choose Run, then type: CMD

You will now come to a black DOS-like screen.

Type the following:

IPconfig /Renew (Note the space between the "g" and the slash / )
Hit enter

See if you get your connection back

Sorry, I didn't get your reply in time. I just un-installed my WLAN driver and Installed it again and it kicked in. So problem fixed. Thank you so much for replying so fast!
