I am on a windows 2003 server machine, running SP2, trying to connect to my wireless internet. Problem I have is the connection is not being established. The network is within range and works fine as I have another computer connected to the same wireless network with no issues. I tried modifying my wifi settings.
My Wireless network security mod is WPA1 and Cypher Type is set to Auto. It is password protected as well. My Wireless network adapter is a Dynex brand. I tried to reset the Network Authentication on my Machine to WPA and set the Data Encryption to AES, that did not work. I tried selecting Shared option for the Network Authentication but was only able to select WEP and then able to enter my network password but that did not work. I then tried WPA-PSK and AES Data encryption, entering my wireless network password but that did not work.
I would appreciate it if anyone can please help me with information on how to connect to the internet with my machine. Thank you in advance.
 
What type of Dynex Card are you using?

Dynex™ 802.11g Wireless-G Wireless Desktop Card

I was able to get it to work after disabling router security but when I try to put it back on, I run into the same troubles.
 
try and see if there is an updated driver/firmware for both your card and the WAP/router

I already updated the drivers for both. I was wondering if the fact that my driver info only includes WAP and WEP info and not WAP and WAP2 may be an issue? What I am thinking of doing is purchasing a card that has WAP and WAP2 information. so that when I configure it to work with the router's WAP2, which I know works well with all my other computers, it may solve this problem.
 
The Wireless G should indicate support for WPA2; but you may be correct in obtaining another card. Let us know how it goes. That card may have been one of the earlier versions of Wireless G. According to their website they were made in 2007.
