Yes, I tried . . . yields no results. It'll say "Failed to connect:
could not connect to wireless network." (real helpful explanation
there, M$)
WinXP will find my router, and when I click connect, it'll go through
the process then show "connected" . . . but then, click on status and
it'll show blank entries for IP addy, Default Gateway, etc. also, it
shows packets sent, but none received.
The router (which doubles as my DHCP server) shows no client for the
wireless card.
I tried settin' all the settings for the card manually from the
network connection properties box. (i.e. use Gateway: 192.168.xxx.xxx,
IP: 192.168.xxx.xxx, DNS servers, etc), but still nothing. With
wireless only there is no response "Destination Host unreachable"

Anyway, I've tried most 'ordinary' solutions I could think of (old/new
drivers, repair [which is a glorified refresh/renew/flushdns all in
one], refresh/renew, auto/manual settings, encryption/no encryption,
I'm not running a software firewall and windows firewall is off, no
running anti-virus programs (I've hear that can cause problems), using
windows wireless or using the client that came with the card, TCP/IP
filtering off/on (permit all) . . . I think that's everything I've
tried so far.

Any other suggestions are welcome.
