There are three possible solutions to this: Change your router settings and configure it with WEP encrytpion. Install the required update on SP2. Share with your friends.

If, a different wireless management utility The Linksys wireless client, for example is being employed, it would be advisable for the customer to disable the Windows XP built-in management utility.

To do this, right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon, left-click on Properties , and go to the Wireless Networks tab. Uncheck the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings option, then click Ok.

I'll try that if it exists and if that doesn't work, then I will try re-installing WinXP, and not update to SP2 until someone here says, "Yay! Turned off encryption on router and laptop, turned off all firewalls, etc.

Crossed fingers and hoped. Didn't help. Nothing working. Upgraded not clean install -- upgraded -- to XP Pro. Also gave the network a profile. After about a minute the system recognized the card and network. Ran IE 6. Hope this helps. BUT it broke everything on the laptop again. I've been trying the various combinations of settings to see if anything will work, but nothing does and the D-Link AirPlus utility won't run, either. I changed the router first, and in retrospect i probably should have changed the laptop to WEP first and then changed everything else.

Tired, going to bed. Will call Buffalo in the morning to see if they can assure me that a completely Buffalo system with Ethernet Adaptor and Cardbus card on the two wireless-connected computers will work. Really disappointed about the Ethernet adaptor not working with WPA.

On these units, bridging does not support WPA. Once everything was working reliably, I re-installed SP2 on the laptop, and everything continues to work through sleeping, shut-down, restarts, etc. I can't honestly say what was the crucial change in getting things going -- was it going to XP Pro?

No matter. I'm happy now. Hope something in here will help someone else. The connection was dropping but I assumed it was due to a weak signal, as I had move the computer during the process, or possible not having applied SP2 and all the hotfixes et al.

I was gutted that the connection kept on dropping after the software, drivers and everything was completely up to date and the router was moved to improve the signal. Once the connection was lost only a reboot would get it back. What was particularly strange was that I could ping the router and the modem but not the name server or anything else beyond the modem. All I can say is that I have read this entire thread without a disconnect saying something now and written this reply without a disconnect.

I don't really know the answer to this, but I can't see any reason to keep the WZC service running if you aren't going to use it. As an act of desperation I tried updating his windows XP pro and I could actually update it I must be missing something very obvious or something not so obvious. I know I've haven't specified what exact equipment here. I'll try to get all the specifics later and get back on here Thanks in advance.

I always had trouble with that when the DHCP lease would renew on my router. Switching to a static addresss solved it. I know I am sending packets but not recieving any. Before I had this problem, and used a WinsockFix program. Now it isn't working. When I look at my ipconfig, it recognize all the appropriate info, except the DNS and gateway are empty.

What am I doing wrong? I upgraded to the latest firmware but still no joy. Any ideas? Please address my pet hate, "a cable is loose, you lose your keys" RE: Windows XP wireless problems after windows update: Suffering very similar symptoms here too. Tried everything in this thread, and the MS KB article, but hasn't worked. Using bit WEP. Like others the DLink and Windows icons in the sys tray say everything is connected fine, but nothing seems to work.

But there is a few interesting things i've noticed that differ from what others have previously described. The PC does get an IP address from the router. Pinging the router fails, but checking the packet packet counts in the network connection status reveals one response from the router immediately when ping is first run, then after each timeout yes this kinda sounds like a firewall prob, but have them disabled.

Also, if the G is disabled, then reenabled in the device manager, everything works until the next reset!? Problem was that we couldn't connect to a Netgear wgrv4 router used as an access point every morning until the router was rebooted. Then it worked fine. I was using WEP 64bit encryption, but also the access control list. I updated the firmware on the router a step backwards and on my wireless card, disabled the Wireless Zero Config Service, using the card's software instead.

Still no good. Win XP would tell you it found networks, but when we tried to connect to the office one, it just repeatedly told you networks were available.

Fortunately turning the Access Control list off solved my issue and was probably redundant security any way. Thanks for this article. It's a relief to come across other sufferers.

As a result can't connect to my wireless router. Wireless connection shows excellent signal; shows network name, etc. Fix IP address and can now ping router, but can't access internet. Intel Pro driver is 1. Refresh Wireless connection and remove Ethernet cable. Result is that wireless works correctly until PC shutdown and restarted with some time interval reboot seems to be ok Only details I can find are that there is an SP2 problem with Intel Having got SP2 I don't really want to remove all of it.

One workaround Microsoft seems to be to remove the wireless hotfix if that was all I'd got installed Microsoft article The only other clue I have is that I increased the memory on this machine before this problem appeared. I've not tried going back to the former memory - it may be either sluggish with small memory but wireless, or responsive with the extra memory and a wireless workaround.

Doesn't affect my usage too much since I'm only connecting to the local network around the house and wireless is convenient. I've got another laptop with the similar software configuration apart from drivers since different wireless hardware. That works with no problems with SP2. So the problem seems to be related to SP2 with particular wireless network interfaces.

May also be related to speed of startup. RE: Windows XP wireless problems after windows update: Zuser, think you're right about it being related to speed of startup. Spoke to DLink technical support, and while the guy was helpful and knew what he was talking about, it is a problem they're aware of but do not have a solution for : Same card will work in one machine, but not in another that is almost identical.

The best workaround appears to be resetting the card which is why it does sound like a bootup initialisation timing problem. General method: - double click the wireless network connection status icon in the system tray - go to the "Support" tab - click "Repair" Similar DLink specific method DLink tech support guy told me this one : - double click the "D" icon in the system tray - go to "Site Survey" tab - click on "Connect" While it's a bit of a pain in the arse to have to do this everytime you boot up and want to access the network, it's not tooo bad.

This stupid limited to no connectivity thing is driving me nuts! But then about every minutes my connection drops for about 10 seconds each.. Then, about seconds later, sometimes less than that, the connection is restored and everything's good again. So what's the deal? I'm able to ping the router and I get a response back - Gateway default is I checked the router logs to see what kind of leasing it's giving me, and it's basically reporting sending me the same IP every minutes.

Basically I believe it's resetting my IP for no known reason. There is another wireless desktop on the network that has no connection issues whatsoever and has a much more unique IP than I get I'm always getting Other computer gets something like 3xx. In my desperation, I actually tried uninstalling SP2. It didn't really help and I had to sysrestore back to my setting a few days prior. However, I just recently moved this PC onto the wireless network after being away from home for a couple months.

Around the beginning of January prior to SP2 installation this PC was working fine on this same wireless network. Any suggestions? I tried to uninstall Q, but alas, I can't uninstall it individually - it's stuck with the rest of SP2. Drivers are updated for my adapter too, and I'm running the network through the D-link software. I was thinking about possibly putting the two adapter computers on static IPs, but is it possible with DSl that has a dynamic IP?

Not sure about this and I don't really want to mess around with it unless I know what I'm doing. I want a unique IP! That doesn't reset every 5 minutes Monday, March 14th, Lease Expires Monday, March 21st, So it isn't the lease amount that's the problem. Still getting same IP number though.
