This is driving me nuts, if anyone can help that would be great!
I have 3 wireless devices on my home network.
The router is set to use WPA2 AES for encryption. My computer (Windows 7) connects at N speed and works just fine (with a TrendNet WLAN card). The downstairs laptop (Windows XP) connects at G speed works great (with a built-in Aetheros card). My mother's WinXP computer, however, is baffling me.
My network does not broadcast the SSID, I just type it in. When installing the DLink software, it says it can't find the SSID and to pick from the ones in the list. Well, it's not IN the list because I don't broadcast it. So I have to cancel it and just setup a profile.
After doing so, it connects, but then it sits there "Acquiring Network Address". Eventually I get the lovely "Limited or No Connectivity" message. If I "Repair" the connection, it will reset everything and then I will get an IP and everything will work great.... until I reboot the machine. Then, it will connect, but spend a good minute or so trying to get an IP, then give up.
This is extremely frustrating and I'm at wits end trying to fix it. She runs Windows XP / SP3 with ALL updates. I've tried the two different drivers on DLink's website as well as the driver from Windows update--only the latest driver that came with it actually works.
If anyone can help, that would be great.
