I have a WMP54G wireless network card on my desktop computer running Windows XP service pack 3. I am trying to set up my parent’s home internet connection and all of their computers are working wirelessly, but my computer is not. I have had this problem for a while.
I am unable to connect to networks that have a WPA encryption key. The card finds the network fine, but then is not able to ever actually connect it, even though I’ve verified the password several times. When I go into the router settings and manually switch the password type to WEP 10-digit code my computer is able to connect.
This is a problem because the network I just set up for my parents is running through an Apple Time Capsule wireless router, and it does not have an option to use a WEP encryption.
I’m pretty sure this is not a problem with the Time Capsule’s Apple origin, because my brother’s VISTA machine is working fine, and I had an identical problem with my Netgear router at my apartment, which I solved by swapping the encryption type to WEP.
So, please help!
