I have a Linksys Wireless router WRT54G, I am trying to connect a IBM Thinkpad T42 with Windows XP. I have the right Router name and password, but all I keep getting is "Acquiring Network Address", but not connection. Running "WPA" on security. The laptop works fine when connected directly to the router via cable.
View 1 RepliesI've come across an older IBM ThinkPad 2687 via work that was just collecting dust, and it was able to connect to a wireless network.Due to other issues with the machine, I had to do a complete refresh on it, so it only had the XP OS.
I had to update the drivers to make sure other things like connecting to a flash drive, and connecting to a local area was possible, which is how I'm able to connect now.However, I've been unable to access the wireless connection within Network connections. I've downloaded the different drivers from the Lenovo IBM ThinkPad website, but still no luck.
I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 and want to setup a wired local area network.How could I achieve this?
Situation:I just want to connect to the internet and I have a cable connection at home.So, I just want to plug the cable line to my notebook (x200) so that I can access the internet via the cable.
But I don't know how to setup a local area connection in notebook. Since it automatically appear in my desktop, but not in my notebook.
I have an IBM Thinkpad T42 Model 2373.This morning I had to factory reset it, and lost all of my drivers. Slowly, I'm getting them back, but I've lost my wireless internet ability. I've attempted to turn my wireless on, it says IBM Wireless Adaptors (802.11 or bluetooth) are not installed on this system. My card is an Intel(R) Pro/1000 MT Mobile Connections, and I understand that this isn't a wireless card. But. I've had wireless working for the past year and a half...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried everything - virus checks, HijackThis, disabling services and startup. I have three tabs set for home (CNN, Yahoo and Gmail). Gmail connects but I can't access any other sites. Also Outlook 2007 connects to the MS Exchange Server. The behavior is a little weird because when I first boot up, all my tabs load properly but then after a minute or two, I press the "home" button and suddenly nothing will connect (except Gmail, which still continues to connect). All has been fine for years and then all of a sudden this happened when I returned from a business trip (had the computer with me and everything was fine). I have ruled out router and other connection issues. In Safe Mode, the connections are just fine. As a last resort, I may reinstall XP but I would obviously prefer not to.I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T400, running XP SP3.

I have a thinkpad, and my friend next door said I could use their wireless which is set up through COX. I click on the icon at the lower right that shows wireless strength and a window opens up called "access connections" I don't know what to do from there. I see the wireless icon for the one next door on the diagram, I click on it which highlights it, then I click on "connect". It looks like it is going to connect because a green bar starts to fill in the "location" : "name" place, but then a little window pops up that says "connection failed.Recommended action: Verify that the encryption settings (WEP/TKIP/AES) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought an old IBM Think Pad laptop and i cant seem to connect to my wireless router. I have another laptop which connected with no problem just simply typed the wireless password in and all work fine and the same for my iphone. First problem was when I got asked for the wireless password it came up with a message say " The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network comfiguration".

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter working fine for months, the network on my ThinkPad R61i has become slow and intermittent. Often after a reboot, it will work fine... then after several hours it will get slower and slower to load pages, sometimes failing to load them entirely. Usually, after several minutes of inactivity, I can refresh a bunch of stalled pages and they'll all load fine, and it will work again okay for a few minutes, then slow down again. Often a reboot will clear it up, but not always. .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've spent several hours trying to see if it's even worth trying to upgrade my old Thinkpad i1400, which has Windows 98 and only a modem internet connection. Obviously in today's world it's wireless or nothing. So...I've read that I could upgrade to Windows 98SE, and on [url]... the used disk is only about $15. I also read that 98SE has a lot of glitches. However, I already have an XP disk (don't know how I got it) but it may be corrupted, because it never finishes the installation on the thinkpad---goes completely blank after about 10 minutes. One problem is the limited hard disk space on the i1400 --- about 2.5 GB for both the C and D drives respectively. There is less than 1 GB on the C drive free and XP takes up almost 800 MB. I'm afraid to wipe clean Win98 and replace it with XP, and for some reason I can't install XP to the D drive. Even if I could accomplish this, will XP be the magic bullet that gets me wireless on this dinosaur of a laptop?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 'm very happy with the AE1000 & got it to work with my A31p by using a USB 2.0 adapter; (it only has USB 1.0) I think the ThinkPad PCMCIA card is faulty because it only works for a brief time & then dies (works fine with current machines)--then I noticed that the newest driver supports USB 1.0 but exactly how is that file implemented? I don't see .exe files, etc, & want to try to use the new driver--I'm using the latest XP--is there a step-by-step tutorial describing how to use the new driver?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a Bose Soundlink bluetooth speaker and have paired it with both my ipod touch and ThinkPad w500. The iPod Touch sounds great, but the audio coming through the speaker via the w500 sounds like it is clipping, especially at normal-loud listening levels. Both the soundlink and the w500 have the latest bluetooth driver updates installed. The clipping occurs even when the main volume (and iTunes/Spotify) is turned down to 50% power.whether there is a way to reduce the "power" of the bluetooth signal so it does not cause the speaker to distort. Audio played through the speaker via 3.5mm from the w500 sounds great even at high volume.
Currently installed bluetooth drivers:
Bluetooth Enumerator (Microsoft)
ThinkPad Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate (Broadcom)

I have a win xp laptop which connects via wireless to a cheap belkin router I have a Win 7 pro laptop which is hardwired to the router. The Win 7 machine is NOT set up for home groups. We are all on the same workgroup.
I have added the user name from the XP machine to the Win 7 pro machine with admin rights. I shared a folder on Win 7 and added the user name and gave read/write rights. I have no software firewall.
When I try to connect via win explorer via the workgroup I see the Win 7 machine (after 10 seconds). I see 'User' folder which I can browse and I see the folder that I shared but I can't access it. Access denied...
I'm trying to set up a VPN connection between two Windows 7 machines (A laptop running 32-bit and a my home computer running 64-bit). By setting up a new incomming connection on my home computer and forwarding port 1723 (TCP) to the IP (static on home network), I'm able to connect using my iPhone (either over 3G or a WiFi hotspot). It should then seem that my server settings are working.Now, when trying to connect using my laptop it won't work. I use "set up new network connection" -> "Connect to workplace/VPN" in "Network and Sharing Center". When trying PPTP, a window pops up asking me to re-type username and password. I use the same credentials as logging in at my home computer (and the same as I've configured on my iPhone), but the server won't accept them.When right-clicking the VPN connection in "Network and Sharing Center", I can go to properties. But I do not know which combination of settings to choose. I don't believe it should be this hard though, when both client and server are configured automatically by the same OS.

Since I can get online it isn't an ISP/router/modem issue, so that's clear.When I installed XP on my now spare PC I did have to fiddle to get the internet working?The PC motherboard is an HP Compaq d230 MT, and the steps I have taken is:From this website [URL]
1. Installed Chipset driver
2. Installed Broadcam Network driver
3. Installed Gigabit Network driver
4. Installed 56k win driver (wasn't sure if it's needed though)
5. re-started PC
It still doesn't work, and under device manager, the Ethernet Controller has a yellow question mark. Opening it up, it says there is no driver installed and says (code 28)
I just re-installed Windows XP Pro on my desktop. It used to have Windows 7. I used to access internet wirelessly on Win7 with this Netgear WN111v2 adapter. So the adapter is in working condition.
So I put the drivers (tried both version 3.0 and 3.1) on a USB key and installed them on that desktop.The installation went fine, the program runs fine. It can even identify wireless networks around my house.
I chose my wireless network, entered WEP passphrase and it connected. Then in the bottom right side of my screen there is a little commputer and a yellow dot is moving next to it and if I hover over it is says "Acquiring network address".
Here is what I see when I type ipconfig /all :

Doing a system recovery which basically reset everything to manufacturers (except the internet connection). Following several sets of directions which seemed like they might apply to me including manually entering the ip info into my LAN.The latest attempt was to try to "reset my winsock catalogue" with: netsh int ip reset catalog command in cmd. This resulted in a list of errors stating that the commands had to be Run as an administrator. As I am logged in as administrator on the computer, I'm not sure how to rectify this latest little bit of folly.
