T60 Sees SSID as Blank

I have a T60 running XP SP2 with the Intel 3945ABG card. All was working fine with wireless until a wipe and reinstall of XP.

Now I cannot connect to my wireless network at work. The network is Cisco based with a 128-bit WEP key. The SSID is broadcast, but the notebook cannot see it using WCZ or AC. If I run NetStumbler, it sees a bunch of AP's, but they all have blank SSIDs. Of course other people at the office are working fine.

At home I can see a bunch of networks and connect to my own WPA2 network with no problem. I have updated to the latest Lenovo drivers with System Update, and I have also tried the latest Intel drivers.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff

If you can see SSID's at home but not at work this leads me to believe that they are disabled at your office. Even so you can still connect to the network by manually entering SSID and other needed info in the Access Connections.

STRYPER, that seems like what you would expect, however I can see the wireless network from other computers and I have tried to setup a manual connection with no success.

It's also really weird that NetStumbler can't see SSIDs either. Incidentally, I dual boot Vista on this notebook and it has no problems. So, it seems this has to be a driver or configuration problem on XP.

Thanks,

Jeff
