On my other new laptop with home premium vista, I can only get partially
connected to my home network. It identifies the network name, shows it is "connected with limited access". Any one know what I am missing (or not matching) on the properties or setup??? My other home machines are still working fine. |

It could be the wireless driver or DHCP issue. This search result may help,

Any one know what I am missing (or not matching) on the properties or setup??? My other home machines are still working fine. I had this problem with my new laptop, long story short, had to change my router settings from using WEP128 to WPA-PSK and it solved my problem. Apparently there is an issue with WEP128 and Vista with some routers and no real fix. I wouldn't have minded changing to WPA-PSK but the CF wireless card I have for my PDA doesn't support it. -- Cheers! Rich |
