Hello, there i am frustrated with the process i have to do in order to go online.
I have a dlink wda-2320 range booster wireless antenna. When the computer boots up it says its connected.(to a linksys broadband router wrt54g) i have set up a static ip address in the range of the routers IP. But what happens is i'm unable to go online. I check the status for the wireless under activity the packets are being sent but none are being received.
So what i have to do is disable the wireless connection from network places. then re-enable it in order for the internet to work.... What can cause this to happen?? any ideas or has anybody have or had the same problem?? FYI i am running windows xp sp2 with an hp pavilion amd athlon (tm) XP 1600+ which only runs at 1.39Ghz with 1 gig of pc-2100 ram.

Hi,

This is because the Security key or encryption key doesnt match with the router. Instead of using a static IP use it as obtain IP automatically. You will now get an auto configuration IP: 169.254.x.x. Please match your wireless setting and you will get an IP: 192.168.x.x. You will be connected to the internet.
