wep encryption off - assigned an IP address via DHCP
wep encryption on - connected to AP but DHCP server unavailable...why?
Laptop using an Orinoco silver pcmcia card (with client).
AP - netgear dg834g modem/router/ap
Without encyption the laptop is assigned an ip address via dhcp
(dg834g) and I can browse the net.
With encryption (wep encryption 64 bit and use a 5 ascii key - on
both) then I am not assigned an ip address - the dhcp server cannot be
reached. This happens with 2 laptops win98 and win 2000. Tried
rebooting laptops and ipconfig renew.
The dg834g sees the laptop connected to it ie I've a desktop connected
to the df834g and I can see the mac address of the laptop.
I also have a netgear usb wireless adapter. This works fine with
encyption and on both laptops.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
