Ive uninstalled the network card and let Windows reinstall it, but the
problems still there. When i go to the choose a network window and click
connect on the one i want to use a box appears saying 'The selected network
is an access point network.
Your wireless connection is currently configured not to connect to access
point networks'. It then gives you instructions to click on wireless
connection properties, click on advance, choose which configuration I want to
connect with, click close on the advance box and ok on the wireless
connection properties box, but as soon as you change anything or even if you
dont change a thing, as soon as you click ok on the properties box a window
opens which says 'at least one of the changes was not applied successfully to
your network configuration'. Its not just happening with this network card,
ive also tries a usb wireless lan adapter and the same thing happens.
With XP Prof I understand you can delete the new network connection policy
but I dont know what I can do the XP Home. Ive tried lots of things over the
last couple of weeks, changing my SSID, changing the WEPkey, changing the
channel the router uses, uninstalling SP2 and reinstalling, everything I can
think of including burying this laptop in the garden and holding a service
for it.
Sorry this is so long winded but I thought the more I say someone might have
an idea as to what I can do. Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly
appreciated.
