I just purchased a new Dell lattitude 630 running XP pro w/SP2 and a built-in Intel Pro/wireless 3945ABG Network card (that apparently runs using either 802.11g/a). I also have a linksys router/AP with 4 ethernet 10/100 ports and that supports 802.11g/b
the AP I have is running
1) WEP
2) 128 bit encryption
I removed mac address filtering
I have another laptop that is connected via the AP, (its using 802.11b) its associated and has an ip via DHCP, however with the new laptop I can:
1) associate with the new AP
I can:
1) get an ip address but ironcially its not in the range of IPS that my AP is handing out, my ip address range is 192.168.100.100-105 my new laptop gets this IP 192.168.0.1
I have:
1) verified that with the new laptop I am associating with my AP and not someone elses' who didn't turn off broadcast and my wireless NIC sees it
I could always try to manually set the NIC to a static address but I really would like DHCP to work, any ideas? Sounds like it could be a driver issue, but the driver is has it the most up-to-date one.
thanks
