I just got a LG LS50 laptop with an Intel WirelessPro 2200BG adapter. I
am trying to connect it to my existing network via a Dlink DWL-2100AP.
The signal strength reports as ok but it won't connect. I am using WEP
128 bit security. The authentication is correct.
My other laptop with a Dlink DWL-G650 works perfectly.
Any suggestions?

Start by turning off the security and see if you can connect.

Can you ping the network?

Do you have it set to see your b/g devices, or are they all g?

Are you using the Windown WZC or the Intel configuration utility?

Do you use MAC filtering?

I have the same problem with no encryption at all.
It is set to obtain IP address automatically.
I disabled the Intel 2200BG & installed the G650 from the other laptop &
it worked ok.
If all else fails I might have to buy another G650 but I would really
like to get the intel unit working.

I use a 26 digit hex key. It is very simple & hard to stuff up.
No MAC filtering.
All devices are b/g
I can't ping anything because there is no connection.

You did not mention if which configuration utility you are using. If
you use the WZC, you might try installing the Intel ProSet manager to
see if that can get the card to work.

If you have the SSID broadcast turned off, try turning it on. Are you
able to see the network with the Intel card?

I am assuming the Intel card shows up and you can configure it.

The card shows up & I can configure it. Tried pro/set, boingo, IP
Loader, various drivers. All failed.

I guess there is nothing else I could suggest. Do you have another
laptop in which you could try the card? Have you tried setting up a
ad-hoc network to see if you can get it to work. The transmitter is
turned on? Have you check the installation and made sure the antenna
leads were connected? Can you get a replacement card.

I've tried several config utilities all with the same result.
SSID is on & I can see the network.
The intel card shows up & I can configure it to my harts content.

I suspect the 2 are not compatible & have now got a Dlink DWL-G630 which
works perfectly.
Thanks for your efforts.
