I have 2 identical laptops, when i disable wep wpa etc one will connect (although it does say it is not connected?) and i can browse fine, the other will not???
But when i enable WEP niether wants to connect, could i be doing something wrong with the network key? i.e is it case sensative
it has only taken 12 or 14 hours but i have got my wireless back. thanks.
i am very new to computers and it is nice to now that some people will help and not ask for money all the time
My Sky Mid went live on Wednesday 23rd with a Sagem router and so far I've been quite impressed with speeds of 1.5Mb on a "long" line that was previously downgraded to 512k by BT. I'm even more impressed with the Sky Users Forum! Thanks Guys. :-)
I tried unsuccessfully for many hours to connect my laptop wirelessly. I was getting "limited Connection" and "unable to obtain IP address" messages. My laptop normally connects to networks seamlessly but this was a problem I also had in a hotel in Mauritius, where I berated the IT manager for having a c**p network. Using Google I found numerous forums where people had the same problem and tried downloading new drivers for my Broadcom 802.11g, and various Microsoft patches. It now turns out I should have looked at this thread first. After I followed Step 2 above and deleted "Preferred Networks" then reinput my Network Key it worked. Whether it was deleting the Preferred Networks or inputting the Network Key in capitals I don't know; I'm just grateful.
Thanks so much for the tutorial and supremegermalene I had been going around and around in circles with the same problems and as soon as I removed sky from my preferred networks it worked too! I am so delighted thanks everyone
