Setup, Configuration & Security

Hey all ! I have the next problem: I have buy a TP-Link's wireless router 2 days ago and I've set up a wireless connection on my laptop which runs windows 7. Everything works great but the thing is that I have other one laptop which runs on win XP. When I tried to connect to my wireless network with that other laptop and after I've entered WPA security key, it gets stuck forever on "acquiring network address" I've tried to auto fix but it also doesen't work...can anyone tell me what is the problem ? I've tried million things from the internet and still it doesen't work

Thank You !

Could be a simple matter of poor signal . If that seems unlikely try this:

Check TCP/IP Properties.

Start, Connect To, Connection, Properties, Scroll Down TCP/IP and highlight, click Properties and check that Obtain DNS and IP address automatically are enabled.

signal is excellent and obtaining IP/DNS is auto enabled but still I have the same problem...

Is wireless mode in the router set correctly for the XP machine -- try mixed mode.

Also try turning off wireless security and see if problem goes away.

Unlikely, but check that Access List (include/exclude users by MAC ID) is disabled.
