Answer 2

Hi Pal,
Well, could be that the protocol TCP is not installed on your computer, if is that so, you got install it, follows this ease options (they work with windows XP):

-Open the Networks connections, to open: click Start>All Programs>Accesories>Communications>Networks Connections.

-After that, locate your wirless divice (commonly its name is "Wireless Network connection")

-Then right click over your device (Wireless Network connection) and choose "Properties".

-In the General tab, under the box "This connection uses the following items:", locate a protocol called "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", if is not, then you must install it.

-To install the protocol, click on "Install" button

-In the "Install network component type" choose "protocol" then click "add" button.

-Then locate the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", and click "Ok" button.

-After that, verify that the protocol appears in "This connection uses the following items:" box, then click "Ok", try restart your Computer, and it must work (if the problem is the protocol TCP is not installed).

If you still experimenting problems, could be a problem how's set the configuration for your wireless adapter, or which Client program are using to get connected with you wireless connection, and, I give you this answer assuming your router has DHCP (a service that automatically assign an IP) and the DNS and Gateway are set OK.

Answer 3

Log into the router using the computer that is working and look up the WEP key in the routers security settings.

Answer 4

go into your network card in the control panel

control panel > control panel > network connections > right click on the wireless adapter > uninstall the tcip

ignore warning
reboot and windows should reinstall tc/ip

TCIP is a networking protocol to allow computers to communicate that is most commonly used on the net


Change the channel on your wireless from the default 6 to anything else
