So, I just had a wireless network installed in my apartment complex by AT&T. When I try to connect to it the box just says “waiting for network to be ready…” and searches for about five minuets to get a network address then give up and has limited or no connectivity.
History:
When I first got my new laptop (with built in wireless) I would use my neighbors wireless network. It worked just fine but the laptop had Vista…so nothing else worked properly. Toshiba sent me “downgrade” (though as whole I think that it is an upgrade” media to go back to XP if I thought it would be better. I got so sick of Vista sucking that I did eventually switch to XP. That is when the problem started. My neighbors network that had previously worked now just gave me the aforementioned error.
My wireless card works with my parent’s network, the network at my school, and every other public Wi-Fi, but not with the networks at my apartment. I have spent days (not all at once but I do think that the cumulative time has been days) on trying to troubleshoot an fix the problem… :kopfwand: . Any ideas? Has anybody had this error before and figured out how to fix it? Any help you have to offer would give me no end to relief of frustration.
