Maybe it's in the settings. You could go to network/wireless connections. Right click on Wireless Network , select properties. Go down to Internet Protocol , hit properties. Make sure "Get IP Address automatically is check"

If it is. Try renewing the IP address on your comp

Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar.

Click Run... on this menu.

If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'cmd' (without the quotes) in the text box that appears. A command prompt window appears on the screen.

Type 'ipconfig' (without the quotes) to view the status of the computer's IP address(es).

If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'ipconfig /release' to let go of the address.

Type 'ipconfig /renew' to obtain a new IP address (whether or not the computer is holding a current address).
