T23 and network craped out

[larrylwill]

I bought a used T23 January of last year. I upgraded it to 512mb of ram and a 40GB hard drive. It did not have a wireless adapter so I bought and added an Intel pro 2200 wireless adapter and antenna. I have a home network using a Linksys G router and 3 computers all working and sharing the internet which is a high speed connection. Since I added the wifi card the laptop has worked flawlessly.
Last night I was reading this forum and found a message about re-setting the swap file if you added memory. Since I have played with swap files many times in the past I checked the one on the laptop and it was set to variable, so I re set it to 768mb and I set the visual preference to best performance. That is ALL.

After a reboot I saw that my network was not connecting. Normally it connects automatically. So I clicked on it and it had found the network but when I clicked connect. It would not connect. It just says connecting until it says, can't connect. Then goes back to wireless network found select one and click connect.
If I look at my network connections I have 2. Wireless Network connection 4 Intel Pro 2200BG, Wireless connection unavalible
and Local area connection. Intel Pro/100 VE Network, Network Cable unplugged.
If I right click Wireless Network connection 4 it says View network connections, If I click that it brings up a box "Connect To Wireless network" But everything except cancel is grayed out.
Local area Connection properties shows"
Client Services, Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing, Qos Packet Scheduling, NWLink Net Bios, NWLink IPX/NetBios bla, bla
Network Monitor driver
Microsoft TC/IP Version 6
Intel Advanced Network Service Protocol
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
all checked.

Not being the brightest bulb for networks, I tried a system restore to the last check point. Didn't help. Then I tried a Win XP repair, Didn't help. I have network stumbler and it shows the network adapters as 2200B/G Prism 2 and Ndis 5.1 but will only connect on NDIS 5.1. I also tried a pcmcia wifi card and it works with Network stumbler but doesn't connect to the network on the laptop either.

So here I set without being able to get the network to work and I don't know what to do from here. I suspect its a Windows problem but surely don't want to do a complete re install of XP.
Can somebody help me PLEASE?

Thank you

HI all,

I have had the same type of issue that would come and go with no
changes to my system.

SEE MY POST TODAY

I contacted IP (earthnet) they said they had no limits on access
point internet connections. Some hrs later my WLAM t23s connected ok I had DL and started using their internet protection(TOTAL
ACCESS)

luck,wayne
