Disable the wired NIC connection when connecting wirelessly. Disable
WEP/WPA, MAC filtering until you establish a connection. Broadcast
SSID, there is no reason not to. Check the advanced properties of the
wireless TCP/IP protocol, TCP/IP filtering, and make sure everything is
Permit All. Google for lspfix.exe and winsockxpfix.exe, run both in
default mode to fix the TCP/IP stack. ...or, boot to Safe Mode, open
Device Manager, View Menu, Show Hidden devices, remove all of the USB
wireless references. Reinstall the driver and run the Network
Connection Wizard again.
