I am at a friend's home for a month, trying to connect to a Linksys router (BEFW11S4 v2), and using a 2687-D4U T43. Cannot make the connection in XP SP3, but Fedora finds it and works just fine.

So I assume something is amiss in Windows, don't know where to start.

OH, everyone else in the house connects just fine, wife's X32 (same wireless card, also XP SP3) and friend's MacBook.

So it's not a hardware issue.

Have you tried getting the drivers for XP on the lenovo website? I needed to do that for vista on my T43.

Hi!
sounds a bit like my topic in:

I have so far solved it by using Intels software instead of WinXP's or Lenovos Access Connections.

Here is the link to Intels SW:

It's item 4 on the list!

As I mentioned in the other thread, I found that in Linux (Ubuntu 8.10 in my case) there was no problems. And it is very strange, that in some places, Windows would connect to a much weaker network found, and not being able to find one a few yards away - sometimes after a few attempts, but definitely not a stable solution. So far I'm pretty happy about the Intel Software
