i'm wondering if there is something i'm not doing right. Everything in my wireless network seems to be connected and configured properly but i keep being repeatedly disconnected from my router, and my girlfriends laptop get stuck on aquiring ip address, anyone who can help would be appreciated i've exhausted all the options i can think of.
 
Check TCP/IP Properties.

Start, Connect To, Connection, Properties, Scroll Down TCP/IP and highlight, click Properties and check that Obtain DNS and IP address automatically are enabled.


Also try turning off wireless security in the router temporarily-- might help isolate the cause.


Most likely though is poor wireless reception. Try raising the router above furniture level, experiment with different channels.
