Talked to Linksys and they say it's MS issue. Checked all my settings.

Connection screen says "you are connected to the access point but no
internet can be found."

other laptops can connect on this network though. I've rebooted, rebooted
the internet receiver, reinstalled the adapter software etc. to no avail. I
also tried reinstalling service pack 2.

Any ideas?

Ideas:

_NETSH_

Click Start, Run, type:

netsh winsock reset

Press Enter key

Restart the system

You can also try this software download from a working machine:

LSP-Fix
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

_Flush_DNS_

Click Start, Run, type:

IPConfig /FlushDNS [Press Enter key]

Why did you wait nearly 4 years before installing SP2?

iTunes of course !
Windows system requirements
a.. PC with USB 2.0 port
b.. Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
c.. iTunes 7.7 or later
Previously it probably didn't require Service Pack 2.

Thanks for the input.
I tried both start/run things you suggested and also ran the file off
that url you gave. It found no problems and requested no changes. The
two start/run things didn't make a change.

Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help so far, I appreciate it.

I should add that I cannot connect using a direct cable connection
either for whatever reason.

As to the question of why I waited... this laptop is used for running
itunes only during sound jobs. I have a sound system and go to fairs,
festivals etc. and run itunes in between bands with music to keep the
stage lively. So I just never had the need to do anything to the
laptop. 9,000 songs and lots of playlists for various genres.

I notice that there's a service pack 3 now. Should I try going to it?

I right clicked on the icon in the sys tray and tried repair
connection. It seemed the ip address was 0.0.0.0.0 kind of thing. I
noticed it now has an ip in there but an error box came up reading:
"windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following
action cannot be completed: Renewing your ip address"

Check any / all Internet security software like anti-virus and
software firewalls (other than the built-in XP SP2 firewall.) I have
encountered a software firewall that must be told to trust the
wireless network SSID otherwise it will "disconnect" /
"deauthenticate" the network access.

1. Uninstall SP2 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

2. Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your HijackThis
log to an appropriate forum.

Check for Hijackware
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm
http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/Darnit.htm
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Malware_Defence.htm
http://defendingyourmachine2.blogspot.com/

When all else fails, HijackThis (http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe)
is the preferred tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware.

**Post your HijackThis log to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30 or
other appropriate forum for expert analysis, not here.**

3. Do not install WinXP *SP3* (skip SP2 if you're running WinXP SP1) until
an expert gives your HijackThis log a clean bill of health.

Well that didn't help... but the uninstall was the ticket. I un-
installed SP 2 and the net worked. So I was brave (lol!) and re-
installed SP2 and it worked. So I became REAL brave and installed SP
3. Guess what? It worked also! lol! So I'm good to go.

Thanks for the support and help!

:-)
