DHCP Issue With Linksys WiFi Card

[bsorgi]

I have a Linksys WMP11 Wireless Card Installed in a Windows XP Pro Dell. The card or Windows XP can find the network, but will not revieve any DHCP info. It keeps using an self assigned private IP instead. I Checked in Microsoft Services To make sure DHCP is running and It is. I tried installing the card on different slots, this did not help either. I also tried using different software configurations, with the software Linksys Provided and Windows XP. I know the Router is working fine because all other wireless clients have no trouble connecting. I tried turning on the SSID broadcast, and turning off MAC Address Verification, that did not help either. Im not fully sure about this but windows also keeps tring to connect to the network with WEP which appears to stay on even when I uncheck it. But when I Turned on the SSID it didnt apply WEP and still didnt get the DHCP info. I have read other posts and those suggestions did not seem to help this. Any help or suggestions would be nice.

This should be an XP Wireless Zero configuration compliant device. It am a little worried when I hear someone forced the Linksys WLAN utility software in this setting. You cannot have both active, and it is tough to get rid of WLAN once installed.

. Start, Administrative Tools, Services, stop the Wireless Zero service, and set its startup desposition to Disabled.

Reboot.

. Now use only the WLAN Linksys software. Make certain that 802.1x authentication is disabled.

DHCP errors can be rough.

1. I assume you did WinsockFix FAQ779-4625
2. If you ever uninstalled Norton Antivirus, see:

3. If there are more than one DHCP servers, you can obtain your result. For example, your DSL modem is really a modem/router. You connect a broadband router. Result: DHCP failure. Resolve this my changing your broadband router to a different local IP network segment base address. For example, setting the broadband router to 10.0.0.1 and using 10.0.0.x for your LAN will work.
4. Firewall software can do this.
5. Antivirus software with "hidden" firewall components can do this. e.g. PC-Illan.

Pull the card out of the box.

Do:

Shutdown.

Put the card back. Let XP rediscover the new hardware. Do not install anything but the drivers.

Reboot. Update the driver set if you used the earlier drivers.

Reboot.

Set up the adapter using Wireless Zero: SSID, Channel, WEP or WPA if used.

Configure through Wireless Zero one Preferred site, and set the adapter to: unchecked 802.1x authentication, connect only to preferred sites.

Reboot.

Emab;e the native ICF firewall. Head to the Windows Update site.

Finally, download and apply:

I have a question about how to WIFI-enable my DW 6000 using a Linksys 802.11G wireless router. I have a desktop connected to the LAN port of the router, and the DW 6000 connected to the WAN port. The desktop can access the web without trouble. However, my laptop, which has a 802.11B wireless card, does not work with this configuration. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can fix this? I really appreciate it.
