Windows 7 laptop wifi connecion issue

At this rate, I'll be there in a month XD

I tried checking the channel, as that was the least "dangerous", but I seemed to be already on the best channel. I then made a restore point, clenched my teeth and uninstalled my wireless driver. After reboot I got a scare how the wifi icon was displaying a symbol that meant no wireless adapter, and then it worked. I connected to the network (after inputting my password), and it worked! At least it did. I put the computer to sleep, and it didn't want to connect. Back to square one. At least it automatically reconnected after a minute :p

Have a look to see what Event Viewer has recorded.
Go Start - type eventvwr and press enter.
When it has read the data, click on Error then on Show All Instances of This Event in the lower right pane.
You are looking for time stamped errors for when you awoke the machine or when you switch the machine on.
For any you find, click on the blue online help link to see if MS has any suggestions for it, or you can Google the Event ID No.

Ok, I'll try and do that next time I encounter it.

Two things, number one I now have it hardwired with ethernet so it shouldn't be a problem anymore and two, I have a promising looking error that says: "Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address *excluded by me, just in case*. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server." And when trying to fix it with the instructions, it was incomprehensible (to me). Any idea of a simple solution? Or should I just let it go since I have ethernet access?
