After updating an HP Tablet running WindowsXP Tablet with SP2 no longer able
to connect to the internet using an exisiting 802.11b network with WEP
enabled. Using lateset drivers for the HP Tablet, Intel PCI 2100BMini LAN and
Linksys firmware for the router, I do have excellent signal, connection and
able to send packets, however, no packets are received. If WEP is disabled
packets start to be received. Have disabled Wireless Zero with no impact.
Have another Tablet that is not updated for SP2 and connectivity on the
network is fine.
Anyone have any solutions?
Thank you.

Using Wireless Zero Configuration is easier. 8-)
Are you receiving DHCP feed from the router, or do you have a static IP set
on the Tablet PC? Go to the Command Prompt (not Start/Run) and put in
"ipconfig" without the quotes. Does it give you an IP address within your
LAN numbers, or does it report a 169.*.*.* address. If the latter, try doing
"ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew".

If that doesn't work and you are using the DHCP feed from the router, try
giving your machine a static IP within the LAN range (you'll also need to
know the DNS numbers, and remember the router IP is your Gateway IP) to see
if that kicks it into gear.

I've often found that with wireless a simple release/renew cycle isn't enough
for some reason. But disabling the adapter, and then re-enabling it seems to
clear something that gets stuck in there. Never had the problem on a wired
adapter, but definitely an issue with wireless. Worth a try.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did try your suggestion and it did not seem
to have any affect. Still have excellent signal and excellent connection and
can send packets but, with WEP enabled, cannot received packets/access the
Internet/

Chris H:
Thank you for the post/suggestions:
1) wish I could use Wireless Zero.... Had a similar issue trying to install
and 802.11b/g card on a new Dell running XP Pro and the MS customer service
person told me to disable the Wireless Zero and run the Linksys supplied
driver... not pretty but at least it works
2) DHCP is being supplied from the router. Did your recommendation of
"ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew" did not change situation.
However, i was no longer even able to send packets. The process seems to have
put the Network Bridge into a disable mode. When I re-enabled, was back to
where I started able to send but not received packets with WEP enabled.
3) any further thoguhts before I try your fiex IP approach?
Thanks

Trying to fathom your issue here, so please excuse the questions. Are you
running any sort of third-party (not Microsoft's Firewall) firewall
software? How about anything from Symantec or Norton as a pop-up protector
or anti-virus software?

When you're using WEP, you do not have the 802.1x Authentication enabled in
the Properties for your LAN connection, do you? Are you manually entering
the WEP key or are you using automatic feed from your router?

I would check to see if you have corruption of your Winsock by following the
information in this Knowledge Base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259 If everything is okay, then you
might have corruption of the TCP/IP stack, so perhaps this Knowledge Base
article would help you:

I believe we traded message here. Please set my earlier response aside for
a moment. Are you saying there's a network bridge established when you go
into Network Connections? If so, you need to remove that bridge, leaving
only the wireless enabled.

To remove the bridge, you only need to right-click the icons and select
"Remove Bridge" from the menu. If that's the situation, I would remove the
bridges from those devices, then right-click and Disable all your networking
devices except the wireless. Then reboot your machine.

1) appreciate your help, so please fire all the questions/suggestions you wish;
2) am running ZoneAlarm Firewall. Have turned it off with no impact the
situtation
2.2) am running Norton AV -- have disabled it and tried with no impact to
the situtation
3) run with OUT 802.1x Authentication enabled, however, have tried it both
ways and has no effect either way
4) have manuually entered the WEP key rather than autoed fromn the router
5, 6) will go pulll and read/try the two KB citations.
Thanks.

Okay, here's a suggestion (if the other one about getting devices out of
bridged mode doesn't help). ZoneAlarm and Norton (Symantec) products don't
stop running when you "exit" or "quit" from the Systray icons. They're
still fully functional, hidden in the background.

Since XP SP2 has Windows Firewall, and you're already behind (hopefully) the
firewall of your router, I would suggest uninstalling ZoneAlarm first to see
if it is grabbing stuff. You can always reinstall later. Same with Norton.

However, I'd be more interested in seeing if the bridge situation solves the
issue first.

1.1) Disabled the MAC Bridge and rebooted Tablet...no change.
1.2) removed Bridge, same situation-- excellent signal and strength able to
send but not receive packets
1.3) rebooted the Tablet after birdge removal and have no wireless
connectivity at all. Renabled Wireless Zero and turned off the Intel driver
and still no connectivity, nor netwrok detection, at all. Tried a repair with
no impact.
1.4) turned off Norton AV and ZoneAlarm Firewall did a restart on Wireless
zero and still no wireless connectivity at all.
Any thoughts?

If you go to the Command Prompt (not Start/Run) and put in "ipconfig"
without the quotes, what is the result? Are you getting a 169.*.*.*
address? If so, you're not getting the DHCP feed from the router but the
system will show you're sending but not receiving.

Okay, we should eliminate some possibilities here and then set things up
correctly. Right-click My Computer, select Properties and then go to the
Hardware tab. Tap the Device Manager button. This will reveal devices
installed on your Tablet PC.

Tap the + sign next to Network Adapters, and make sure only the wireless
connection is enabled. You can right-click, Disable anything else that is
enabled. This doesn't uninstall it, only keeps it from functioning and
possibly interfering with the wireless operation.

Do the same if you have a listing under Modems. Then close out Device
Manager, tap OK at the bottom of the Hardware tab, then close that and
restart your system.

Now, go into Network Connections (off the Start Menu) and right-click the
icon representing your wireless LAN connection and select Properties. On
the General tab, please list what you have installed in the "This connection
uses the following items:" pane.

Then single click (to highlight) the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) line and
select Properties. Is this set to Obtain an IP address (and below that,
DNS) automatically" ? If so tap the Use the following IP address: line and
then give your Tablet an IP within the range of your router, maybe
192.168.1.100. The Subnet mask will automatically fill in, and then the
Default gateway will be your router's address, either 192.168.1.1 or
192.168.2.1 (depending on the router, and if you're using the default).

In the section below that, "Use the following DNS server addresses:" you
will enter the Preferred and Alternate DNS addresses as furnished by your
Internet Service Provider. OK your way out.

Now go to the Wireless Networks tab (with a check mark in the box next to
"Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings") in the Preferred
networks pane, select your LAN name, then select Properties below that. On
the Association tab, make sure the proper name of your LAN (SSID) is
entered. Below that, select Open in the Network Authentication drop-down.
In Data encryption, select WEP.

Now put the Network key in the two slots. Go to the Authentication tab, and
make sure there's not check mark in Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for
the network. OK your way back to the Wireless Network Connection Properties
screen, then select Close.

1) at the command prompt under ipconfig I was getting the ip a 169.*.*.*
address
2) i did run all the steps you suggested (and thank you for taking the time
to send all of this). The result was same condition as before excellent
connection, excellent signal, sending packets but not receiving packets
3) ran the steps you gave me again -- no chnages
4) disabled AV and firewall and no change
5) did an ipconfig and the esults come back to the fixed IP data I entered.
Any other ideas?

I had not.
Since your response I went ahead and did a restart and the situtation is as
before - connected with excellent signal strength sending packets but not
receiveng packets
I also, just to check it was not something else, went ahead and disabled WEP
on the router/AP and reconnected and the TABLET, using the fixed IP was able
to both send and received, and also connect to thew Internet.
