Internet Connection Lost
My WinXP Pro notebook uses an SMC2435W wireless card connecting with a Linksys router. I decided to make my network a little more secure by changing the SSID from the default. I also changed the SSID on the notebook. Afterwards, there was no way I could connect to my home network. No other settings were changed. I reset the router with no success. Finally, I disabled WEP on the router and my notebook, and my connection now works properly. I've used WEP for several years. I don't let Windows set up the network connection. I find the available network on the SMC icon on the taskbar and let it connect there. Any idea how changing the SSID could have caused this problem? I've never had any issues with my wireless connection before.
Thanks! Scott
