XP Pro installation and wireless problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Has any one encountered a problem getting a wireless connection after
installing XP Pro? I recently installed XP Pro to a machine that had XP
Home. After the Pro installation I haven't been able to get a wireless
connection.

Jeff- More information is needed to answer your question. Are you using XP
SP1 or SP2? What are the AP and NIC you are using?
What kind of authentication and encryption you are using if any? How did you
set up your network? Can you give more detail on what the problem is, are
there any error messages?
