Problems with Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, DLink DI524 and XP SP3 connection?
LockedI’ve been battling a wireless connectivity problem and I’m not sure which of the three devices are the cause. The setup is an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T42 with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card running Windows XP SP3 and a D-Link DI-524 wireless router. The problem is the T42 will sometimes connect using WPA/2 if I unplug the router and my cable modem and bring them back up. It will then connect, but after a day it will drop the connection and then it gets stuck doing the connecting/renewing ip shuffle and never connects. If I change to open or WEP, it will connect with no problems. I have another laptop a Dell D610 with XP SP3 and it has no problem using WPA/2 or any other form of wireless. So I’m looking for some advice or if anyone else has experienced this with a similar setup and any solutions you may have come across.
I’ve tried doing the netsh commands I found on the net regarding this particular. I’ve tried re-installing the firmware on the router. The only thing I can think of to do next is a re-install of Windows, but this seems a bit much. I did notice that at times when I would uninstall the drivers and re-install, the MAC address would not show up in the properties box until I would run a WinSOCK fix program.
Any advice is appreciated.
