configuration of wifi on Win XP sp2

i have a laptop that has built in Wifi adapter. Since i already have a wifi running in my office i was wanting to configure my laptop to the same netwrok. The issue is that i've been able to configure it but the IP address that i get, on pinging that the result is timed out. I fail to understand what the reason can be. I've Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200 BG Network connection and i've also installed the intel software for this. Please if any one can help me mail me asap at snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com

More information will be needed. What OS are you running? Are you getting an address from the LAN's DHCP server? If the address you are getting is a 169.x.x.x, the device is not connecting. Does the LAN have encryption? Are you using the proper encryption type? (WEP, WPA, WPA2). Do you have the correct key?

BTW: Cross posting is generally frowned on. It is not wise to post your email address to a newsgroup.

Sorry, that was in the subject line.

Hello,

This behavior is normal if you have WinXP with SP2, it have integrated firewall that blocks ICMP/PING requests.

You can change this using "Change Firewall Settings" in your proper internet/lan connection and modify ICMP Settings.

Good luck,
