Is your builtin WinXP firewall enabled? Bill Beckett <Bill.Beckett@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Can't figure this one out. I have a dell laptop (latitude 300MHZ) and I have installed Windows XP on it + SP1. I have a Cisco 350 wireless PCMCIA card that I know works. I have installed and reinstalled the device. I have also installed the client utility that comes along with the Cisco card. The utility works, it can see the AP, it does a successful link test so the communucations from card to AP are working. However, the laptop does not get an IP address. It's configured for DHCP like all the other laptops we have and they all work fine with DHCP. Protocols are there, card is working, yet if I go to a command prompt and type in IPCONFIG, it wil just say media disconnected. Anyone encounter such problems as this before? I've tried everything I can to remedy. ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/winxplist.cfm Owner/Moderator of "My Computer Headaches" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mycomputerheadaches/.
