I am having so many problems with this MN700 and MN720
setup. I through it in my brother's laptop (Dell
Inspiron 5150) and it connected in about 4 seconds and is
great. My HP Pavilion is another story all together. At
first it would come up with an error saying that it was
the wrong WEP key. I was running no encryption at all.
I finally got that error gone, but now it just sits there
and timesout waiting for an IP. I assigned static IP's
to everything but it still won't connect. The other
thing is that the Pavilion has a built in wireless
adapter, but I had gone so far as to remove it from the
PC and reinstalled WinXP SP1 and even tried SP2. No
dice. I know that the card works, but for some reason
the combination of the HP and the MN720 is a no go. I
can use the built in one fine, but it only has WAP,
doesn't have the range of the MN-720 nor the speed.
Anyone got any ideas at all on this one. I even bought a
Belkin Wireless 802.11g card and same problem.
