Using HP Compaq NX9010 laptops with builtin Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN.
OS is WinXP Pro SP2 with all critical updates; drivers all updated.
Using DLink DWL-G700AP (no firmware updates available).
Access point set for no DHCP, LAN is 172.31.(0-3).XXX subnet mask
255.255.252.0.
Laptop has static IP address 172.31.2.XXX.
The problem is:
After entering correct WEP key, XP indicates a very good connection to the AP,
but pings across the wireless fail. Machines did connect before installation
of SP2, and a few still do, but >50% fail in this manner.
I reloaded a machine from scratch, and it worked at home with a Netgear
wireless
router and with DHCP on. But after setting it to an appropriate static
address,
it will connect to the AP but will not pass packets. Wireless properties
show packets being sent from the client, but none received. Sometimes the
machine will start working the next day, but usually not. Please help!
