Hey so heres the deal. Today in the afternoon, after running a VNC viewer, I noticed that my wireless internet is stuck on "acquiring network address." I have actually done a few things to try and fix this. I went to the TCP/IP properties and made sure it was on automatically obtain IP address. I tried disabling my LAN connection but to no avail. I enabled and disabled devices. I made sure only one wireless configuration utility is running. I am stuck on what to do. I am running Windows XP SP2 and a Dell wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card. I have also tired a LAN connection but got the exact same result which probably means that it is not my wireless card. Here is my ipconfig/all if thats any help...

Hi EgS - Welcome to PCHF!

The reason you can't connect to the internet is because the node type is set to peer-peer. Please follow the instructions below to fix this.

You cannot view other workgroup computers on the network on a Windows XP-based computer

As this requires editing the registry - please make a backup of the registry before doing this. You can either create a system restore point or perform a system state backup in XP to backup the registry.
