Linksys router problem

[Illusion79]

I have recently installed a wireless linksys router. It worked fine for about 3 days. Now I cannot connect to my laptop with a linksys wireless g adapter. I had in this time updated the comtputer from 2000 to xp. It is set to WEP 128 bit encription and everything looks fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Should I reset the original factory setting and try again? My desktop is still connecting fine.

Sounds like an issue with your card, drivers, something since you just upgraded to XP.

Tonight I will try to reload the drivers on the card. The only thing is I just got back from a buisness trip, and I connected fine. I can also connect to all of my nieghbors unsecure network.

In that case, I have had Linksys routers refuse to assign an IP, put one in manually and see if you can get on then.

You didn't say it worked on other wireless networks in the original post.

Also, not having the encryption key in correctly often says you are connected when you are not, then Windows will pop up that "limited connectivity" or whatever.

For everyone's information linksys 3rd party software does not cooperate with windows xp software. I uninstalled the linksys software and let the Xp pick up my adapter, configured the security and i was on my way.

Glad to hear you got it going, but generally I have better luck with Linksys, Dlink, Intel, whatever, software rather than XP's built in.

Kinda odd.
