MN-720 and Dell Inspiron 5150

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I can't really help you to solve the problem but I think
that I can help you to eliminate any HW comaptability
theory with the 5150, I have a similar problem as you, 2
laptops; one an HP Pavilion and one a Dell 5150 and the
Dell is the one that works great, absolutely no
problems. The HP won't connect with the MN-720 no matter
what (WEP key "wrong" or DHCP timesout). The HP does
have a built in wireless NIC (802.11b) so that may be
causing the issue. If your 5150 has a built in wireless
NIC that may be the problem, though I doubt it. I went
so far as to remove the built in wireless and reinstalled
WinXP and it still didn't work.
