Wireless problem after installing window XP SP3

What is your specific problem with your wireless connection?

SP3 does up the security settings in XP. It may just be that you need to go in and adjust the security settings to match the requirements of the wireless connection.

First, make sure that the driver for the wireless adapter is functioning properly.

You may need to uninstall and then reinstall the wireless adapter.

After installing SP3 in my laptop (XP pro SP2) it will no longer connect to my wireless network. It simply sits there trying to acquire an IP address but doesn't succeed. Trying to find networks in
range results in the claim there are nonetworks in range. Uninstalling
SP3 restores normality. Any ideas?

Try and re-install the NIC drivers from your system disk, or if you know the driver then get an update of it on-line.
Or delete your nic, Go into the device manager and delete your network device, re-boot your computer and then see if it will connect.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
