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.
