On my home network, I have to power-cycle the router/access point to clear
that issue.

An IP address beginning with "169..." indicates DHCP (usually a router
function) is not assigning an address. Do as Sinner suggested - turn router
(and modem if used) off for a few minutes. IP address should be in "192..."
range.

Hi
Check/adjust the Wireless from scratch.
Disable the security in the Wireless Router, and make sure that the Wireless
card is configured correctly.
This page was written for Win XP, menu locations are different in Vista but
you can apply the principle.
