WEP Encryption blocks laptop network adapter
Whassat mean? I mean that my laptop (Dell Latitude D600 w/ SP2) won't connect to my router when it has WEP encryption enabled. Even the slightest bit of security prevents me from connecting.
Here's the strange thing -- it lets me connect after I reboot my computer for, oh, about 3-5 minutes, then it boots me off and I can't reconnect. There's another laptop at my place; a Macbook my roommate uses, and he can connect just fine. And my laptop's network card works, but for some reason only on open connections. Thoughts? Edit: Wanted to throw in that I'm occasionally disconnected on my PC tower as well, although disabling/enabling the network adapter solves that problem. Jam it back in, in the dark.

What level of WEP security are you using? There are certain rules to WEP, depending on the settings, that can make things very difficult if you're just trying to troubleshoot your way through it.
Hopefully, you're not actually using WEP, but WPA or WPA2. There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's 128-bit encryption. I've tried it on both WPA and WPA2, but the results are the same.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So are you using WEP or WPA? Big difference.
Also, what software are you using on your laptop to connect to the wireless router? Have you tried switching channels? What's your router's current configuration? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Currently we're using WEP encryption. I'm using Windows to connect to the router (so whatever software Service Pack 2 uses), tried switching channels with no effect, and please clarify what configuration you're referring to. I'm kinda new to this whole networking thing.
How ya doing, buddy?
