Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I have my laptop linked by a wireless router to my cable modem on the PC. Occasionally, the little PC symbol at bottom right, shows the little yellow moving dot and status: "acquiring network address". I'm still able to get online but wonder why that is? Don't you need to have your network address "acquired"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Windows is a bit slow. So it would show up after the network had been acquired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've been online for over an hour though and it's still showing "acquiring network address". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Its windows, the little icon in the taskbar lies all the time. Once it said I was connected, when I hadn't pugged anything in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
