I have static ips on my network, only the wireless card is enabled. linksys
router. wep correct, same channel, dhcp disabled and mac filtering on

has anyone had the same issue? the icon states acquiring address. if i go
to the network connections folder and refresh it shows connected. while
acquiring address is up if I run ipconfig i see the address I assigned and
can browse.

any thoughts on why it is trying to get an address???

dell 5150 with xp sp2 and a intel 1350 pci card. router latest firware, xp
patched and latest drivers in the card. also using the windows wireless to
manage no the dell utility

thanks

Hi
Step 1. Switch Off the WEP on both computer and Router.
Step 2. Enable the DHCP on the Router and set the TCP/IP on the computer to
obtain Automatically the parameters..
Can Not connect under this condition?
May be this can Help.

Wireless, Basic Configuration - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Config.html
Wireless Security - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Security.html
Finally, we have a connection.
Switch Off the DHCP and configure the computer TCP/IP to static parameters
that match the Router.
It is working, configure WEP too.
It does not work?
Well at this point you know the exact point of "brake down", and you come
back and ask a more focused question.
