Bad connetion good signel straight using multible wifi cards

I am running windows xp pro sp2 and windows ME and in XP I must repair
the connetion every time I boot up and wont to get on the internet. I
get good signel straigth but in connetion propertys it says "invaild
IP address" "limited or no connectivity" most of the time I repaire
the connetion and go on with my session but some time I louse the
connetion and must repair it again. also the connetion is slow at best
and has simular problems with all cards I have tryed. Also I have
windows ME on the same computer and I have no internet problems in
windows ME so I know it's some thing wrong with my XP

any Ideas

Thomas,

Repairing the connection isn't a magic wand, that you should have to wave it
repeatedly over and over. If you have to do this over and over you have
something wrong.

If you install a new card, make sure that the drivers for the old card are not
present. Each different manufacturer installs drivers in a different way - make
_very_ sure that there are not any traces from another driver when you are using
any one card.

And make sure that you have the most current drivers, for any card, gotten from
the vendor of the card.
