WIreless doesn't work |
|
|
Hello,
I have a laptop with winxp and wireless card (broadcom).I have a public wireless SP.
I can connect to it and the signal strenght is "very good".But I can't recieve the ip by DHCP, only the automatic IP. therefor I can't recieve packets of information, just send them with no reply. I already reinstaled the wireless driver, and nothing seems to help. I had this problem once, and it seems to disappear somehow... |

Try entering the hexadecimal number, instead of using the passphrase.
That often works. |

| It sounds like you are associating with the wireless network (hence the strong signal), but you aren't authenticating properly. Chances are good that you didn't enter the WEP key correctly. If you are quite confident that the WEP key is correct, or if you aren't using encryption, the problem could be caused by interference. Try changing the channel on the wireless access point to see if you are able to connect then. If even that doesn't work, you might try assigning a static IP address to your laptop. It could be that you will be able to use the network then. |
