I work for a school system. I have a teacher laptop (Dell Latitude D830 running XP sp3) that, when in it’s building, will only connect to our wireless network when it has a static ip address.(Hardwired it connects fine) When I bring it back to our shop it IMMEDIATELY connects wirelessly to the network (domain) with no problem. I have reconfigured the wireless card (Intel), flushed dns, released and renewed the ip address, changed to a different area of the building (ie different access point), all with no luck. Other identical laptops around her connect fine. We updated the firmware on the wireless router, and know it isn’t a dhcp problem as she is the only one in the building (130 laptops)having issues and we have about 100 ip addresses unassigned.
Any suggestions on what to try next would be appreciated! I hate to reimage the system if I don’t have to….
