Hi,
I am running a laptop with Windows XP Home and an AT&T Wireless
Router. The adaptor card is a Broadcomm.
The problem I am having if I exit out of Windows with the Wireless
connection enabled and then reboot the Laptop, I don't pickup an I.p
address from the At&T router. I get the default ip address from XP.
If I disable the wireless connection and then enable it , I usually
pickup the ip address (192.xxx.xx) and I could then hook up to the
internet.
If I disable the connection and then exit windows, I could then reboot
and when it is finished rebooting I can enable the wireless card and I
usually connect on the first shot.
I have the newest drivers on the Broadcomm card and the router's
firmware has been updated.
Also, I go over my brother's house and he is running a Linksys
wireless router and I don't have any problems. I connect each time
regardless if I boot up with an enabled connection or disabled.
Any suggestions?
Dan
