Failed Renewing IP Address?

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

I recently changed laptops going from a Toshiba Satellite with Linksys
wireless card to a IBM X40 with built in b/g access. The previous setup was
working fine. I am unable to get an internet connection even though the
wireless network is working loud and clear. When I attempt to do a "repair"
on the wireless connection I get "failed renewing IP address". My router is
a Linksys WRT54G and I am running XP Pro on both the desktop and laptop
computers. I am also using a WPA shared key. Any ideas?

You were correct! If I disable WPA I can network fine. I have
double-checked my pass phrase on both the laptop and router and they are
identical yet when I enable WPA I can't connect.

AFAIK, there isn't a standard for transforming a passphrase into keys. You
might have better luck entering hexadecimal keys directly.
