Hi,
My wife just got a new Presario 2100/Windows XP Home Edition and had no problem connecting to our ancient Apple/Airport (a graphite vintage) network to access our other two computers and my son's collection via the wireless connection. This was an important consideration in our purchase as she has COPD and limited mobility.
Upon installing SP1, all connectivity disappeared. I see a new security feature popped up in the "View available networks" dialog sequence -- in the "Wireless Network Connection" dialog box -- "Allow me to connect to the selected wireless network even thought it is not secure." Crazy as it seems, I click this and nothing improves. Then I come back and it seems to have ignored my request to connect or simply defaulted back to a paranoid state. This may be the heart of my connection problem.
Anyone else experiencing the same inability to connect a WinXP SP1 machine to their old network of NT, 2000, 95 and 98 machines communicating via the Apple Airport?
Best regards, Bill in Inverness, IL
