How can I get my Acer Netbook an IP Address from my wireless router?

My wife bought an ACER netbook and we have a NetGear MR814 wireless Router. We’ve been trying to get the Laptop to connect however it keeps telling us that the IP address cannot be found. I’ve tried repairing network settings and ipconfig release and renew but still cannot get the laptop to hold an IP. How else can I troubleshoot or resolve this?

Typical default gateway address and DHCP address you need are 192.168.1.1

The MR814 supports dynamic IP addressing (via DHCP) so configure your laptop to request an IP address automatically (and the DNS server addresses too).
