Problem with wireless

[opie]

Hallo,
Ik do have a new PCG K115S (Winxp home edition) and I like to install him in my net werk via a router (sitecom). I have alreade two PC wireless installed but I did not succeed in installing this one. I did try via the router with the Mac address but no result.
On the K115S there is the netwerk visual but with given the key and start nothing happent.
Further Norton security is installed as well. I stopped the fire wall but also no result.
Who can help thanks

Hi Opie,

Try to disable all security settings on the router. Also, give access to all Mac adresses. You also can try to update the driver of the wireless card (sometimes this helpes, mines was living it's own live, untill I updated the driver with the new one).

One of these things should work out, I think.........

Halo mystudio,
I have installed the new driver for the wireless adaptor and also some other new drivers . But without result.
I now installed WinXPsp2 result the same.
So I see my net werk but after connect no connection. The same via the router with the Mac address.
What to do now?

have you disabled your firewall?

[opie]

Yes I have. I did start all the settings again and again.
The netwerk is available but can not connect. With a cable I do not a problem and also an other old laptop was started without probleems. So I think there is no problem with the router. It must be the new laptop in my oppinion.

Do you use the Router as DCHP server or not.
If not then you must activate this feature on the Router or you must configure a static IP address.

You need for this the correct address of the standard gateway. (use the same for the DNS-Server). Look at the manual of the Router. There you can find the correct addresses. The standard address for the Subnet is 255.255.255.0

Then you must chose a IP address.

Check whether the network name and the network key is correct.
I would use :

WPA-PSK
TKIP (or AES, try both. If you can't connect with AES then use TKIP)

check wether the Router accept new Network addresses. You must deactivate the MAC-address filter for this. If you are connect, activate the MAC-address filter again.

If you use a static address, then I would deactivate the DCHP-server feature on the Router. I would deactivate the UPNP function on the Router too. (If you need this for any program, then do this not.) Read your manual of the Router for this.

Current status:
- router functiosn ok, since other laptop works with same configuration
- MAC address added to router (doublechecked)
- WAP key correct (doublechecked)

still no success.
When using a seperate WLAN PCMCIA card, connection is made without problem.
I have no clue what is going on here, isn't there any logging where I can see what is really the problem.

That's really strange.:smileyshocked: And I have no idea why that not works.
