We recently had a new wireless network installed on two of the home computers. We have the network name, and the network key even... however my laptop will constantly disconnect, will never connect automatically when it is booted up, and constantly asks for the network key that it should have on log as the assigned key.
I have tried more times than I can count to try to reset the key and insert the assigned one, but it still keeps coming up with a key that it way too short to be the one it was assigned in the first place.
Please bear in mind I'm not a technical genius, so I can't help it if this is an obvious question.
Wireless Network on Windows XP...Is there any way to get to work properly?
Perhaps your encryption capability on the router exceeds what your laptop will support. You may need to change the key (shorten it, or use WEP instead of WPA even though WPA is far superior) or upgrade your laptop's wireless card.
