I have a D-Link DI-514 wireless router that I use to have wireless access to my network (cable is coming in a month, not here yet). I also have a D-Link DWL-122 802.11b USB wireless adapter. The 122 cannot connect to my router unless I set it to ad-hoc (which it is not), and even then it only "thinks" that it is connected because when I go into the router setup from another computer (wired) it does not show it there. Does anyone have any suggestions on the topic?

You are only able to connect to unsecured, uspecified as to infrastructure networks.

. Start by removing any 802.1x, WEP, WPA or any other authentication scheme on the router'

. Specify an SSID, and a channel other that 6. Try 1 or 11.
. Disable on the wireless client any of the above security authentication measrures.

. Specify the same SSID and Channel Number as the router.

Add back, one at a time (but not 802.1x) WEP or other authentication.

No authentication scheme was installed, so I ignored that part, and I also tried switching the channel from six. Nothing that I have tried have worked. I have tried disabling DHCP, uninstalling NetBIOS, and everything that I can think of that could interfere.

I did notice something that is not good. If I set the SSID to connect to, to anything (for example: aljkfjaljfko) it would actually connect to that machine, even though it doesn't exist.

Does that provide more insight to the topic?

Did you solve it?
And if that's the case how?
I have a similar problem and can't solve it...
