wireless networking help

I've had my wireless network working for 3 months and now it decides to pack up, I called AOL went through 5 different Indians, fiddled with strange settings and currently have the router connected through an ethernet cable. I tried setting up the wireless adapter again by unplugging it and reinstalling the software. I says the signal is 100% and connects but as before it cannot acquire an IP address so it says limited or no connectivity.

The router is NETGEAR DG834PN
The adapter is NETGEAR WPN311

I can access 192.168.0.1 through my router, and now i have the windows wireless icon saying that everything is ok but it has sent 14884 packets and received none, I'm trying to figure out which is broken, my adapter or the router, I cant think its any of the settings as it just suddenly stopped working

right I tired letting windows manage the wireless instead of the netgear software and its half worked, I'm typing no thru my wireless but everytime I for to a new website or page a dial up connection box appears and when I click connect it wont connect ? I'm very confused

cheers did a reset and everything is fine now, just using windows zero whatever its called instead of the netgear software, seems a little slow tho
