I have been having issues with my dell true mobile 1300 wireless card connecting to my dlink di-713P router. I am running win xp. I've tried everything even to the point were dell shipped me a new card and I am still getting the same thing. I connect to the router get an IP and DNS but when I try to ping anything else on the network I don't get a reply. I tried to ping the laptop from my server and I don't get a reply that way either. It has to be something in the software because I have 2 other laptops, one Toshiba and one dell, with two different types of wireless cards on the wireless network with no problems. I am not running WEP, until I get this working, and I reset the router so that I can start from a clean slate. Still I get nothing. I have uninstalled the wireless rollup update for xp thinking that is the problem but it is not. HELP

Can you ping the notebook from itself? Also try pinging 127.0.0.1 that
will tell you if the TCP/IP stack is properly loading on the notebook.

JAH,

Please provide ipconfig information for each the laptop, and for the server.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Are you running MAC filtering on the router also? Try disabling that.

Any software firewalls (which are a good idea) on any computer?

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Thanks for the suggestion but I am pretty famialar with neworking windows so I already looked at the ipconfig for all of my machines and they are all the same (except for the ipaddress of course). I am not running any type of mac address filtering on the router and I uninstalled my personal firewall from the problem laptop when I first started having the problem. There hase to be something in XP that is not allowing me to use the wireless network. I am running xp on another laptop but it is not patched and it connects fine. The problem laptop is running XP SP1. Were there any WIFI changes in SP1? If so that may be the issue. I have been looking at the group and it appears that other people are having similar issues.
