Help with Dlink NIC & securuty

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

When I try to enable any of the security features I get a message that the
SSID is already configured and to enter a new SSID and network connection.

When I do this it will not connect to the AP even though it shows it with a
good signal. I have duplicated all the same info on the router/AP. D-Link
had been no help when I have called for assistance. I have deleted the old
SSID and all info prior to creating the new SSID with security enabled.

I am banging my head against a brick wall.

The computer is a Win 98Se but that should not matter as I am only working
with the D-Ling configuration utility.

Thanks for your help
Jim

Using the D-Link utility click on the configuration tab and make sure
Authentication is set to OPEN and not SHARED. I have also found with W98SE
and D-Link after a reboot you have to go into the utility and click on site
survey then click connect to get an IP address from the router.
