Problem with DI-614+ an WnXP, connecting to Lan and Wan

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Are you using the software for the Dlink 650 PC Card?
And did you disable XP's basic networking program and only use the wireless
card's program?
Do you have two networking cards in your laptop? Might have to disable the
wired one.
I will assume that you can not ping the router with the wireless card
either.
Just some ideas! ;-)
later,
dave

If you have the XP firewall enabled, turn it off until you get things
working. Same with other "personal firewalls" such as ZoneAlarm,
Norton firewall, etc.

Control Panel -> Network -> DLink 520 card.
Right click on the Dlink 520 card icon and select "repair". Sometimes
this works.

Some things to check.

1. Did you get an IP address?
Start -> Run -> cmd
IPCONFIG
If the IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you didn't get an IP address
from the DHCP server in the DI614+ router. Probable cause is the
"network bridge" contraption in the:
Control Panel -> Newtwork
applicontraption. Delete it. You don't don't need it unless you're
running a USB "network".

1a. If you still cannot get an IP address from the routers DHCP
server, temporarily assign a static IP address to the wireless
interface using the router IP address as a gateway, and the real IP
addresses of your DNS servers. This is just for testing. If that
works, but DHCP does not, you have an XP bug which I have been unable
to fix.

2. If your XP box has a valid IP address such as 192.168.1.xxx, can
you ping the router?
ping 192.168.1.1 (ip address of router).
If not, check your WEP/WPA settings and keys.

3. If you can ping the router, can you ping anything on the internet
by IP address? If you can by IP address, try pinging by name as in:
ping www.pick-a-web-server.com
If pinging by name fails, check your DNS server setting in the router.

4. If all that works but you can browse your network neighborhood,
try connecting directly with:
Start -> Run -> \\192.168.1.xxx (IP address of a shared machine)

Yep, I have the Dlink program installed and have disabled XP's
internal networkign program. You are also right that I can't ping the
router in wireless mode. I haven't tried to disable the built-in NIC,
but will try to do that and see if there are any improvements.

"security running"...as in? I have a firewall running, yes, Tiny
Personal FW (not XP's built-in FW) But is that was you were asking
about?

I meant are you using WEP or WPA encryption on the access point?

Aha, yes WEP is enabled and working. (I'm able to connect so far so
that I get the siganl from the router to my card.)
