I've got a new laptop, a HP Pavillion 6000, which I just formatted to get rid of Vista and install XP. For some reason however, I'm unable to connect to my wireless router on this laptop. All other laptops in my household can connect fine.
I use both MAC Filtering and a WPA Shared key (AES). When I disable the key (leaving MAC filtering), the laptop can connect, as can all the others. When I re-enable it though, the laptop can't connect anymore, though the others connect fine. It is prompted for the network key, but even after entering it, the connection doesn't progress at all (ipconfig reports media disconnected).
The router is a Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) mini - build 3932 installed as a replacement firmware.
Any suggestions at all would be appreciated as to why this laptop is unable to connect to the router when the password is enabled.
Thanks a lot!
