Wireless Gone South

#1 Post by bozo » Fri Mar 11, 2005 11:41 pm

I have a T30 (2366-42U) and I've tried everything I can think of (no much compared to the standards here) to re-establish my WiFi connection. Nothing I do makes any difference.

The card says it's working but even 2 ft away from the access point I can't get a signal. Three other machines (2 Thinkpads) have no problems.

Can anyone direct me to a prior thread or get me pointed in the right direction.

Alan

What are your TCP/IP settings?

well what kind of configuration are you running on your router?

Check for the following

Hidden SSID
MAC Filtering
WEP/WPA Authentication

Next if none of those apply to you have you tried updating your drivers/software for the wifi card. Download it to one of the other TP and transfer it over via IR/CD/USB/Ethernet...

Just like the Cooking Show - BAM!

I literally just now came back! 93% One second no signal at all. I'm checking emails. I get to the email about a response to this very question and it starts working again. That's scary!

My settins are:

IP - Auto
DNS - Auto
DHCP Enabled
Append parent suffixes of primary DNS - Yes
Register Conn add in DNS - Yes
Register Conn DNS suffix in DNS reg - Yes

IP Config returns:
