hi omaroo,

still having this problem?

what type of encryption are you using on your access point/router, if it's WPA/WPA2? If it is that only means that your current Windows XP version does not have supoprt for WPA, here's one or two things that you could do;

- change the encrytion type to WEP(64/128 depending on your preference)

- download the patch for WPA on the microsoft website;

or you can check out this article for further information on the problem your dealing with;

Hope this solves your problem with the wireless connection on your XP laptop. specool.gif
