Hi Brian,
I have had IDNETICAL problems to these. In my case the problem appears to
be IP address based. After installing SP2 I have brief connectivity to my
WLAN and then nothing. Roll back to SP1 and everything is fine.
I know my network encryption settings etc and they are all correct. There
are definitely issues in SP2 with wireless networking. I have no problems
with Windows any version from 98 up, except Windows XP SP2 which has some
sort of problem/setting that is not obvious.
Can you suggest a series of steps as mentioned in your previous post ?
Ta !
