I cannot get an Acer A0531h Chromebook to hook up to my WiFi adaptor. Keeps trying to get net address.

The WiFi light blinks and when I I turn it on it shows the icon on the screen as ON.

 

I have installed other usb wifi adaptors/antennaes and get the same results.

 

There is nothing I see in the boot screen that shows that the wifi is disabled or not

 

What can I do to get wifi going ????

 

Please help

    Sorry - I do not quite understand your response.

    This Acer is using Microsoft XP (not a Chrome OS) and as with all other XP units I have , you can install a DLink/Linksys/... wireless adaptor (what I called a wifi adaptor) and it works.

    In this Acer, I installed the device properly, they show the wireless symbol but IT IS NOT CONNECTED.

    Something is trying to get a network address but it ends up with a 0.0.0.0 address.

    I have re-installed the Atheros AR5007EG Wirelwss Network Adaptor driver - no help

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks
