Unable to connect to encrypted wireless network.
I have recently started having issues with my wireless network connection. I use my laptop for business and personal. While on site at a client my laptop was able to initially connect to a wireless network (which I would assume was WPA2 encrypted). After the first day of being here I was knocked off the network and was unable to connect again. I have double checked the passkey and the network is registering as being WPA2 encrypted. I thought it was the network at the office, but I recently bought a wirelessrouter to use in my hotel room and I am having the same issues with the WPA2 settings there. It says aquiring ip address, but then it just stops and sits there. I have a net meter which watches traffic through my network interfaces and itsends and receives a bit of data and then just stalls: there is no error message. This is the same behaviour with the new router as well as the router at work. I obviously have no access to the work router and will continue to play with mine, but I need some assistance in figuring this out. It connects fine to a wireless signal without WPA2. I have tried restarting the computer, restarting the rounter (mine), retyping the passphrase (multiple times), updated wireless card drivers, applied KB893357 and KB917021, reset my tcp/ip protocol, repaired my connection, and used system restore to go to the point before it stopped working.I am running windows xp pro sp2. In looking through the system logs I found a DHCP warning that says "Your computer has automatically configured the IP address fro the Network Card with network address ############. The IP address being used is ###.###.###.##. Let me know what else I might try or where I might look.-Tony3 people need an answerI do too
