My wireless isn't connecting to my server (or any server at all). It was okay the day before. This had happened before, but unfortunately the person who sorted it out isn't available at the moment (managed to fix it without reinstalling anything).

What I did do:

-Click on "Refresh network list" numerous times.
-Disabled the WLAN numerous times.
-Turned off Windows Firewall and the Virus etc Protector
-Restarted the computer numerous times.
-Retyped the password numerous times.
-Done the IPCONFIG/RENEW thing but it came back as "An error occurred when renewing interface Wireless Connection 5: Unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out." (the IP address comes back as 0.0.0.0. most of the time)
-Signal Strength is excellent.
-All the other laptops (which I have no access to) in the house are connecting to the internet just fine.
-I've clicked on "Repair" so many times! No luck at all.
-The wires and aerial on the box aren't loose. I've replugged it many times.

It's been a week since I've been able to connect to the internet.

I have a Compaq Windows XP which is only a couple of years old. It's not slow.
