I have a Dell Latitude D600, P4 1.6ghz, 512ram with an Intel Pro 2100
3b Wireless card in it. I was able to use the card just fine with my
wireless network with WinXP SP1.
Service Pack 2 came out, and after I installed it I couldn't connect
to the network any more. I would get the message "Limited or no
Connectivity" even though the signal strength would be "Strong" or
even "Excellent". Packets will be sent from the adapter, but it does
not receive any. My IP also shows up as the Automatic IP Addressing.
I tried the usual things, uninstalling/reinstalling the driver,
releasing and renewing IP, changing configurations on the router etc.
It is weird b/c the card sees the router, but can't do anything about
it. I finally tried uninstalling SP2 and boom, it started working
again.
One of my neighbors is having the same problem with an Intel pro 100
ethernet card. So to me this definatly seems like a problem between
Intel and SP2. Unfortunatly, Intel does not support this card any
more and MS doesn't seem to interested in it.
Do you guys think that I will never be able to run SP2 with my Intel
Pro wirless card? Anyone else having this or a similair problem?
