Buffalo pci card and Asus Terminator C3

Feb 04, 2007 2 Replies

I have the subject setup and can't get a wireless connect. The wireless network is recognized but will not automatically assign an IP with dhcp. If I put an IP in manually it will connect the network, but the browser will not connect to the Internet. Now the goofy part. If I put all this together wired everything works fine. Tried two buffalo cards and a d-link air-g. Same thing every time. I even put an old drive in the system and did a clean install of XP pro with all the latest drivers



- makes no difference. Still connects wired - won't connect wirelessly. Anyone been down this road? TIA, RJ

Turn off _all_ security when troubleshooting.

FWIW the culprit turned out to be avast av. Odd because I'm running it on all other computers on the network and it causes no problems. I installed avast on a clean install of XP and as soon as it got done with the preliminary system scan it blew hell out of the dhcp/wireless connection. Tried to do a restore to an earlier recovery set point but that didn't work. Just took it off, rebooted the modem/router and away it went. Go figure :-) . RJ
