I have a you beaut MSI Diamond K8N Athlon Motherboard and yesterday I decided to get the matching MSI PC54G2 Wireless PCI adapter card after having an issue with a D-Link USB Adapter which worked well when plugged into my old notebook but never in my desktop.
However, after setting up the new the new card I found I had the same issue I had with the USB adapter. Simply, I can't get onto the internet. I have checked the Wireless Key a thousand times and it is correct. I went to the Device manager and deleated and resintallled the MSI Wireless card.
I have since found 2 odd issues:
(1) When I go into the Wireless Network Connection Status on the system tray it has 2 Tabs (1) General and in this Tab I can see the received packets in high number and rising, but see Send as "O"; (2) Support Tab. When I click on the Support Tab it says Invalid IP Address. If I attempt a repair nothing happens - I have done this several times, it either hangs or it completes but doesn't fix the issue. Currently the Default Gateway is blank, but the Subnet Mask & IP Adress is 0.0.0.0 which seems a bit odd!
(2) When I go to Network Connections and open the Wireless Network Connection Properties there, I get 3 tabs - General, Wireless Network and Advanced Tab. Under Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) I am using Automaticaly Obtain both IP Address and DNS Server. Under the last tab Advanced it says: Windows cannot display the properties of this connection - then goes onto say use system restore as the WMI may be corrupted. Unfortunately I cannot do a system restore as I changed a few drives around and as a result it cannot do it.
I don't wish to do another re-installation as I don't believe that will necessarily fix the problem and doing the last installation took 45 hours to complete 2nd time around and I don't have the time as holidays are over. So I need to find a way to resolve this issue and get on line with my desktop as I can't run cables anymore. Can anyone help?
