Can't Connect using WPA Encryption

T

Ted

I have a new Dell laptop with a 1390 built in wireless card. Connecting to
a D-Link DI-624 router will work fine if I turn off encryption or use WEP.
If I switch back to WPA Vista Business will not connect. Looking at ipconfig
shows an IP address and subnet but no default gateway. As soon as I switch
off WPA all is fine again. I have tried setting up using a static IP and
setting the info in Vista but it still will not connect using WPA. Anyone
know what I need to do or am just overlooking?

Thanks,

Ted

make sure you have the latest firmware for the router and see

Thanks Barb! Even though sleep wasn't an issue the hotfix corrected the
problem.
