Hey guys I'm new to the forum, I've been messing with this wireless issue for two days no and its driving me insane
so here goes.
I have a brand new sony laptop (vgn-nr110e) that cannot connect my home wireless signal.. Specs of the computer and home network is below.
Computer OS: Vista Home Premium
Router: Dlink DI-514 (latest firmware)
Encryption: currently WEP (WPA-PSK works for XP only)
So far all my other machines in the house work fine with the router, they are all XP machines, but for this laptop it will not connect at all.
I disabled all encryption/network keys on the router, basically a naked connection, and the laptop still will not connect. Whenever I connect it goes to a window that asks to "Diagnose the problem" or "connect to a different network."
I tried to connect to some "open" wireless networks in my neighborhood, no luck, same issue.
Next I tried setting the router to WPA-PSK. When I try to connect again to the router, it prompts for the network key, I enter it in then the same window pops up asking me those two options. XP machines still running strong. Oh, as for WEP, it goes straight to the two options "diagnose prob..."
I've tried the registry modification "DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle" from MS and that did not fix the problem. Also disabled ipv6 on the wireless adapter too.
Cat5 connection worked this morning too but I'm iffy about it, it sometimes work and sometimes wont. I will test it when I get home from school.
So now I am completely lost on the wireless issue. No clue what else to do besides returning the laptop
Well off to school, thanks in advance!
