Re: Netgear USB Wireless w/Win XP SP2 Q's?

Bob_M <r.mariotti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hath wroth:

I've been trying to get this new adapter working under the above
referenced config. Today I used Control Panel/Remove Programs and
removed the Netgear configuration program(s) completely.

Upon completion I then plugged in the USB adapter and the usual dialog
popped up asking for a supplied CDROM. I inserted the Netgear
supplied one and selected the XP drivers. The install went smoothly
and as expected.

Could I trouble you to disclose the model number of your Netgear USB
adapter? Extra points for disclosing what access point or router
you're connecting to.

Now, when I scan for networks it displays my WPA secured network

(along with several others) and when I double click it it goes through
the connection actions culminating with Obtaining Network Address and
finally Connected (Hurray).

But EXACTLY four seconds later the connection is dropped and the
process starts all over again and again and again and again.

WPA is failing to authenticate. Check your typing for the WPA phrase.

I am at my wits end with this. Has anyone experienced this action
before and if so what, if anything, was done to resolve it?

Not me. I nevr mak typng errrors.

Any suggestions, advice, pointers will be greatly appreciated.
