Ive had a wireless network now for a few months
it all seemed to be working fine until i upgraded
one of my computers to xp home and tried to get
it back on the network.
The computer says that it is connected to the
network and picks up some shared folders on the
network but cant access them or the internet or
ping my router. If i look under the connection it s
hows it has sent many packets but recieved none.
The same wireless usb adapter was on a 98 computer
running generaly ok. i have 2 other computers on the
network one wired xp home and the other a intel
centrino laptop wirelessly connected xp pro both
running fine. My router is a d-link wireless ADSL router
dsl-g604t. I have tried many things; letting windows
managing the connection, not letting it, auto discover
ip adresses and putting them in myself from the router menu.
The router has WEP Wireless Security i have put the codes
into both the d-link wireless utility and windows but still no success.

Please help me
p.s soz if a similar problem with a solution has been mentioned i did look
 
Did you update the driver for that wireless adapter after upgrading to XP? This sounds like the likely culprit. Are you getting an IP from the router? can you ping? I assume no, since you only have one way traffic.
