Hi All,
I was running D-link DI-624 wireless router. My
desktop was connected to the
net no problem (For years) using a D-Link AirPlus
Extreme G DWL-G520 Adapter.
My work laptop was able to connect as well. I
had WEP enabled.
Now, I've upgraded to the Dlink DI-634M so that
my kids computers upstairs
and at the other end of the house could get a
better signal (supposedly).
Anyway, w/o WEP enabled, my laptop and desktop can
connect no problem.
However, even though my desktop can connect, if I
try to view available
networks...nothing shows up. The advanced button is
not even enabled. The
only option is the cancel button.
When I enable the WEP, I can find my network
in the available networks and
connect to it no problem with my laptop. However,
my desktop now will not
connect. And, again there is no available networks
to find even though I'm
broadcasting my networks name. The advanced button
isn't enabled either so I
can't even type in the network name.
Why would I not be able to see or do anything
at all except cancel, when I
look at the 'available networks' on my desktop
which is running win xp pro
sp1???
Thanks!
P.S. The Wireless Networks tab is completely
missing from my desktop 'Wireless Network Connection
Properties' window when I right click on the
wireless tray icon. It was there with the previous
router...but not this one?!?!?! And as mentioned, if
WEP is not enabled...I can connect with the
desktop. Also, I appear to be virus free
with full scans using Microsoft's AntiSpyWare and
LavaSofts Ad-Aware SE. I also can see in the
hardware device manager that the wireless adapter in
the desktop is functioning properly.
P.P.S.
Also, I'm very very hesitant to update to win xp
sp 2 because I've tried it on two separate
occasions and on both instances I had some office
products get corrupted, namely password protected excel
sheets. At this point, I can't afford to do
that again so I'll have to stick with sp1 for
now.
Additional Info:
I've updated the routers firmware. The adapters all
have current drivers per documentation.
I'm seeing this error in my win xp event
viewer:
The DHCP allocator has detected a DHCP server with
IP address xxx.yyy.z.1 on the same network as the
interface with IP address xxx.yyy.z.161. The allocator
has disabled itself on the interface in order to
avoid confusing DHCP clients.
Also, when doing an ipconfig /all i see that my
'Default Gateway', 'DHCP Server' and 'DNS Servers'
all have the same default D-link I.P. I suspect
this is the issue, but I'm not sure how to
resolve it.
Thanks.
