    So, im clearly connected, as im online right now. it just hangs on that message. but heres the thing:

    if i go into network connections, click properties of the wireless, uncheck and then check TCP/IP and hit apply... it fixes...... ??

    any way to just make it always fix? its currently not fixed but clearly it works......

    should i worry about it?

    So you are saying your connection works even when it says it is still aquiring network address? I had this problem just afew weeks ago when I did a clean wipe on my PC. However once I intsalled the latest driver for my Network adapter it went away:D:D:D
    Just find out what your network adapter manufaturer and model is and look on thier website for drivers. Alternately if its built into your mobo you could look on the mobo manufaturers website, but in my experiences you usually get a newer version from the actual network adapter manufaturer (Realtek, Marvell etc.).
