Wireless PC Card won't connect

[MFasis]

My Wireless PC Card won't connect to my wireless router. It DOES detects the network with a 100% signal strength, there is no WEP, and is using DHCP. When trying to connect to the network, nothing happens.

I've downloaded the latest driver for the PC Card. Then I tried connecting to the network it detects with both Windows and the PC Card software. Both haven't worked.

I looked at ipconfig /all, and it says "Media Disconnected" for the PC Card.

Any ideas?

What operating system are you running?

 

[MFasis]

Windows XP Professional (no service packs)

Most PC cards come with their own propiatary software. Windows also comes with its own wireless management tool. The two might be conflicting.

Try disabling or uninstalling the propiatary tool and using the Windows XP wireless feature.
