Hi,
i recently changed hard drive and upgraded RAM to 2 GB on my Dell 600m.
I installed windows XP Pro and trying to set up drivers etc. on my new installation of windows XP Pro.
I have Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Installed in my laptop and i downloaded latest drivers from intel website as well as dell website and installed drivers as well as utilities. My wireless card can see all wireless connections but when i try to connect to my wireless connection ( it is secure and i entered KEY properly )
, it does not connect.
what could be wrong ?
regards,
crazy_jutt

do you have any other machines connecting to your wireless router?
-
Yes,
I have my work laptop, my desktop all connecting wirelessly fine with router
I am using Netgear MR814 router and i also upgraded firmware few minutes ago.
My laptop which i upgraded was connecting to wireless network fine when it was running on software ( windows xp home and other crap dell installs ) which came installed from Dell.
I do not know why it is not connecting now when i installed windows xp pro and installed all latest drivers.
It connects fine through LAN wire from the same router but not wirelessly -
Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on the router? If you do, will need to add your wireless card's MAC address to the allowed list on the router.
-
No MAC Filtering at all
-
What service pack for XP is installed? Are you using the Intel software to manage the wireless connection or Windows to manage the it?
-
I am using service pack 2 for windows XP Pro and i tried both Intel software and windows to manage wireless network.
is there any tool i can use to see where connection is failing ? -
Did you install all of the required Dell drivers, and did you also install the required Dell system software?
-
Thanks everyone
i tried everything. nothing worked
I bought new router linksys WRT54G and everything works fine
i have no idea what was wrong and my old router did not have support for WPA and no 802.11g
it works now after spending 50 extra dollars not to forget another 200 i spent on buying other stuff while i was in microcenter -
I actually have the same problem on my SP2 system. Router working, updated drivers, and still no wireless connectivity. Any help? Thanks.
