Hi. I have a wireless router that I think I've set up correctly. I got everything working and was able to connect to it using my laptop the very first night I set it up. The next morning, without messing with my settings at all, I was unable to connect. My mom can connect with her laptop just fine, letting the IP settings assign themselves automatically.

My problem, I think lies in my IP address. When using Windows little 'repair' option, it gets up to trying to renew my IP address and then just gets hung up and never achieves doing so. Doing an ipconfig /renew says that my "media is disconnected".

Someone suggested manually setting an IP address - however, I have no idea what to put in "subnet mask", "default gateway", and "preferred DNS server".
