This problem is driving me completely nuts.
I have a linsky router model WRTP54G.
One of my computers on a Dlink wireless card. Not sure of the model number. Now I have no remote problems with wired connections. The problem I am encountering is wireless based.
At one point and time I had my wireless connection set up where it only allowed mac filtering, using a 26 WEP key, and I had the broadcast hidden. The name of my SSID was 3 names, for example "bad news bears". Now for some reason, the connection will not show up! Even if I broadcast the name it will not show up unless I remove the mac filtering. Then with the wep enabled if it does connect, it will only render a 0.0.0.0. IP address. Going further if I repair, I end up with the usual 169. Only if I broadcast and drop both connections can I connect. Then sometimes it still will not show the broadcast unless I disable the connection and renable it.
Can anyone enlighten me or give me some good tips?
