Wirless adapter wont work with WPA

addnon · 03-13-2006, 01:21 AM

My network is currently very messed, so I'm taking things one step at time.

So far I finnally got my hardwired connection to work, but I'm still having problems with my wireless computer.

It will not connect unless I have no security on the network. For example it wont work if I have WPA enabled (I havent bothered tryign WEP).

Without the WPA it connects, but still disconnects (another problem I have see other thread). But with the WPA it says limited or no connectivity. I click repair and it hangs at "Renewing IP", and it proceeds to say "Windows could not complete the following action renewing IP".

Anyone wanna help?

your network card might not support WPA. what card and router are you using

No, it does.

I don't know if this will help at all - im having a lot of trouble with mine too at the moment but one thing that has interrupted with it has been antivirus' - i had to disable all of mine to enable it to work!

what kind of router are you using, and how old is it?

EDIT: have you upgraded the router's firmware?

quoted from my other thead. all the equipment is brand new, and yes it has the latest firmware.

Hi I just got a new computer and I decided to network it with the old one. Specs are:

-XP pro on both computers
-WPA security
-802.11 G
-Router (Dlink DI-624) on old computer
-USB adapter (Dlink wirless G)
-Running network magic on both
-Network is only 1 day old!
-It runs perfectally and fast when it works.

My problem is that the everyone once in a while, the internet gets disconnected and I cant reconnect the network without pressing the reset button on the router. As you can imagine this gets rather annoying. I tried using the repair feature in Network Magic but it doesnt work. The limited or no connectivty icon comes up and restarting the old computer doesnt do anything.

In addition when the internet is disconnected, the two computers are no longer linked locally either.

So far this has happened a total of 3 times in one day, and today I woke up to find the network disconnected .

What am I doing wrong here? I'm fairly knowledgible in computers, but I have never ran a network before. Please help a network noob.
