I am running win 2k on a Toshiba portege laptop
and using a d-link wireless card (dwl-650+)
Everything was working just fine and then one day
the card stopped working. It hooks up to the
router fine but is not receiving any packets. The
settings are set for DHCP. When I try the
ipconfig command to realease the message is:
All adapters bound to DHCP do not have DHCP
addresses. The addresses were automatically configured
and can not be released.
Also the ip address is the microsoft assigned
169.XXX.
I have uninstalled/installed the driver countless times.
I bought a new card (D-link DWL-G650) and it
doe not work either. I also tried reinstalling the
winsock registry in case they were corrupted.
Here's the kicker:When I use a different card
(Linksys) it works fine as does a regular network
adapter.
Yeah, I know, short answer: Use the linksys card--I
really want to solve this problem. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
