I recently purchased a Netgear WG311 v2 network card and
WGR614 v1 router and installed them on my home computer
running windows xp professional SP2.
I'm quite easily able to get no encryption and WEP to
connect however as soon as I enable WPA-SPK on the router
and the client I am constantly receiving the
message "acquiring network address" DHCP works fine with
WEP however falls over with WPA.
Both the router and the card are running the latest
drivers/firmware and I have tried both WZC and the netgear
software (netgear seems to be the more successful of the
two)
I've emailed netgear and their response was:
"Thank you for contacting Netgear Online Support.
Windows XP SP2 has been causing problems with wireless
across the board. It's great you can actually get it
working. I assume there are still slight problems with
WPA and SP2. Try using windows to configure your wireless
instead. The following link may help:

/cg0604.mspx"
I've looked through that guide and it was of 0% help.
So now I turn to you my net technicians...help me!
