WIFI Connection issue
 
Lately my Wifi is not working I do not know what is the reason behind it. I am trying to connect to internet over wifi but it shows a message

"Internet connection failed. Unable to retrieve IP address from server. Key may be incorrect."
But, the key is absolutely correct as its working on othr devices. Only my N900 is showing a problem.

What might be the problem:confused:.??
please help.

It may be also problem with getting IP from DHCP pool. Try with static IP from correct (for Your wireless LAN) IP pool. Same may happen for MAC filtering, if Your MAC isn't on the list...

even i thought so but it did not help.

and more over all other devices are getting connected except my N900. that too only over wifi, because am even able to connect through my network provider.
Only the wifi is not getting connected.

Try with other AP? You must filter out any possible sources of problem. Currently, You haven't provided enough info, and did enough research yourself to reveal possible sources.

you should check if you can connect to another WLAN hotspot (access point, AP). if it works, then there is clearly an issue with your AP. if it doesn't, there may be something wrong with your N900.

have you been playing around with fAircrack? if so you need to unload the drivers ;)

Check your routers log, DHCP pool, etc for any relevant connections from your N900.

Also in some cases, information from dmesg may help.

Apart from that, the other possible alternative way is to connect N900 by hand using all the linux CLI tools such as iwconfig, dhclient, etc

rebooting your device should bring it back to normal ;)
