Hello.
My laptop had a Dlink Airplus G card and seing as the signal has been so poor I decided to uninstall it and then install a dlink G+ card instead (which i had spare).
Since then it show enabled ok, but the IP address doesn't follow from any of the networks and the subnet says 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0
Plus there is no Default gateway. I've tried reinstalling it. I've done ipconfig /release and renew. but still no change.
I've done the Network Wizard 3 times. Still no change.
If I choose 'Use the following IP address' enter a correct IP address, subnet and default gateway, I can only access the network and not the interent
Pleeeeeeeeese help.
All XP, All no firewalls disabled

Is WEP enabled? Make sure you have entered the correct
WEP encryption code to be able to connect to the wireless
network.

Hope this helps,

Hi. I have WEP disabled on all the pcs.
Also correction, the firewall is not enabled.
I have uninstalled everything to do with D-link and in the registry and reinstalled it. And still no change.
when I do ipconfig /all it says that DHCP is disabled. I can't figure out how to enable it.
It's enabled on the other machines.

Is the IP address 169.254.x.x? If so, it means that the wireless card
can't connect to your router. Check the wireless settings (SSID, WEP,
etc), and make sure that they're right.
