This is what the pop up window said----- "windows could not finish repairing the problem because the folowing action cannot be completed - RENEWING your IP ADDRESS"
Can someone help me to renew my IP so my wireless will work again on a long time laptop.

I've had similar problems in the past and running/reinstalling router setup can sometimes do the trick when all else fails.
Does your router have ports to try a wired connection to see and or eliminate the possibility of hardware faults?

2010-02-10T00:56:57+00:00 Does your computer show that it's connected to your wireless network? If it can't connect, it can't get an IP address.
Have you enabled MAC address filtering in your wireless router? If so, add your computer's wireless MAC address to the approved list.
Have you tried my suggestion to reboot your wireless router by disconnecting it from the electrical power for a few seconds and then connecting it?

2010-02-07T09:12:03+00:00 To renew your IP address:
- Open a command prompt window (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt ).
- Type this command, then press Enter :
ipconfig /renew
If that doesn't succeed, I recommend rebooting your wireless router by disconnecting it from the electrical power for a few seconds and then connecting it.
