Hey guys I got a Dlink DI-714+ wireless router. And a laptop with a wireless card in it. My router has encryption (which I'm pretty sure is the problem somewhere along the line). When I scan for the networks it can see it. It says it's firewalled and not connected.

I gave up trying to use Windows XP on the laptop to connect and used the program I got from work to connect to my work network. It's called Odyssey.

I entered the SSID and the WEP. It says it's connected, it sends out packets but nothings comin back in.
So I added an IP filter to allow the IP of the laptop into the network. Now it says Limited/ no connectivity.

Any ideas at all. I'm sure I have to use windows to connect somehow, I just have no idea how. Any input would be great. I'm totally outta ideas here.

Thanks guys.
 
Take out any security or filter for the moment and test the connection again. Then you can apply the security one at a time.
