little or no connectivity-Windows XP SP2
Running Windows XP SP2 (in Bootcamp on MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8), connecting to D-Link wireless ADSL 2+ Router. This same computer connects flawlessly in Mac OS X.
As soon as I boot up in Windows XP, however, the wireless connection shows up, indicates that my computer is connected to it, and that there is strong signal, but weak or no connectivity. On attempting to repair the connection, it informs me that the IP could not be acquired. The computer's IP shows up as 169.254.13.16, a private IP. My Dell laptop (also running Windows XP SP2 and connecting to the same D-Link router), on the other hand, connects without any hitch, and shows an IP of 192.168.1.3. Indeed it shows up in the router window under DHCP clients, and so does the MacBook, whereas the bootcamp sector does not show up at all in the router window.
Have attempted to manually change the IP to connect to the router as 192.168.1.7, but this also is not working. The router is set to WEP (I know, it's lame), I've double-triple checked the key is correct.
As far as I know (or am informed by the computer when I attempted to update the driver to a more recent version), the driver is the correct version: Atheros AR5008 wireless network adapter, driver date 6/16/2007, v. 6.0.3.94.
On trying to "repair this connection", Windows tries to renew the IP, and reports "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Renewing your IP address..."

Help?
