Speedtouch 576 hangs at "Acquiring Network Address" Wireless

Sep 21, 2006 0 Replies

Hi,



I'd be really grateful for any advice here:


I have a Intel Centrino Fujitsu laptop with a built in wireless card. The wireless card connects to other wireless networks but not my home one.


I also know my home network works, as I am using my fujitsu laptop with



an ethernet cable. My second laptop connects via wireless to my home network fine.


When I try to connect via wireless on my fujitsu laptop to my home network, I get:


"Connecting..." and it hangs at: "Acquiring Network Address"....


I've tried disabling the firewall, restarting the wireless connection and nothing works!


I'm using AOL (UK) broadband with a Speedtouch 576 router.


Oh - I can get the laptop to connect to AOL by disabling WEP security on the router. But I don't want to have to use an unsecured network.


Can anyone help! Thanks - alex
