How do I "renew your IP address" to repair my wireless network connection?

I have tried both releasing the IP  and refreshing the  IP.  I have rebooted the router and the cable modem several times and that makes no difference.

When I ran ipconfig/release I got the following:

Ethernet adapter Wireless Netowrk Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . :

When I ran ipconfig/renew I got the following:

Windows IP Configuration

An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server.  Request has timed out.

An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server.  Request has timed out.

I don't know what to do next.  If I piggy back off of my neighbor's wireless, my Asus Eee PC netbook can connect to the internet just fine; but if I try to connect to my own wireless network, even though the two other computers in my home (one wireless  that uses Vista and one wired that uses Windows 7 are connected successfully to it, I get the following error message:

This connection has limited or no connectivity.  You might not be able to access the Internet or some network resources.  For more information, click this message.

When I click it, I get the Local Area Connection Status window.  I click the Support  tab and click on the "Details" button and get the following:

Physical Address       90-E6-BA-A8-8B-13

IP Address               169.254.111.158

Subnet Mask            255.255.0.0

I'm very frustrated by this and really would appreciate additional advice on how to resolve this.  Thank you.

I had the same problem on my wireless PC ( window XP), tried everything mentioned in the earlier dates, Initially was intermittant and now no connection. I contacted the DSL company, two different wireless adapter companies with no eval. I suspect the problem started when I upgraded SP2 and got worse with SP3 although my main computer which is hard wired to the router has no problems nor does the laptop. I need guidance in unistalling both packs w/o restoring the system.

Hello Sohail,

My name is Dennis. I have been having problems connecting to my wireless router lately on my windows xp. My laptop was connected just fine until suddenly the other day it would just not connect anymore when I tried to repair it would disable my wireless adapter, enable it and then try to change the IP address. It would then come up with a message saying that it was not able to complete the task of renewing the IP address. I took your steps and the command prompt gave me the following, I was hoping you could maybe help figure out whats wrong.

>ipconfig/release

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.

There are two types of ip address we are using

1. Static ip address
2. Dyamic ip address

If you have dynamic IP, then change your IP address by following the steps:-

1)Go to Start->Run->Cmd->Press Enter..

Type in "ipconfig/release" for Current IP address and then type "ipconfig/renew" for New IP address.

2)Either follow step 1 or Simply restart or unplug your modem/router .

Doing either step 1 or 2 will change your Dynamic IP address. Visit Ip-details.com to check your IP address is changed or not.
