Connection problems with new laptop
I have an IBM T42 with Atheros 11/a/b/g LAN Mini PCI card.
I can the T42 connect to my Netgear dg832g router via LAN AND I can connect my Dell Inspiron via wireless and LAN -- no problems. But wireless on T42 is a no-no. I have tried conenction via WPA and "open" - still no joy -- though device status is OK. I have tried "repairing connection" + resetting DHCP ( as per earlier post) + disabling "Check Point" firewall The Dell locates 2 networks -- T42 none. Any ideas?? =?Utf-8?B?QmFsZCBFYWdsZSA0OQ==?= |

Re: Connection problems with new laptop
Hi Jack
Thanks I had seen this link from a post you gave to an earlier query -- but this time I followed it rigourously. With WPA and firewalls disabled my PC could "See" the network, BUT When I tried to connect the connection failed even though signal strength was excellent (router is only 4" / 10 cm from PC -- also in Wireless properties teh box "Use Widnows to configure......." keeps getting unchecked. Connection still failing when box is checked. When I enabled the firewall I could not even "see" the network -- this has remained even after I disabled the firewall again -- so part of problem is with firewall. BUT why is connection failing?? when it works with other PC??
