DHCP IP lease attempt failed

Hello

I have a problem with netcfg. It works perfectly at home. However, now that I am trying to connect to another router it keeps giving me this error and I can't figure out why and how to fix.

I have read several discussion on this forum on netcfg errors, however, none of them helped me, so I am asking here again.

More details required - start with "wired or wireless?", then move on to "have I created a profile for the new network?".

If wired, make sure your link lights are on, then try a static IP.

If wireless, try a manual connection, as described in the wiki's wireless page.

wireless. Profile created. Could you link at the manual connection? Thanks.
