Hi
For 2 days now I have battled this problem and have had no joy.
I can connect to unsecured networks fine but when I try to connect to a secured network I fail, ipconfig/all shows the media as disconnected even though it isn't and if I try to connect again to an unsecured network it works fine.
If I use a cable straight into the access point everything works fine. 2 other laptops in the house work fine as well.
I have an HP pavilion laptop zd8000 (zd8007ea to be precise) running XP. I am using a wireless usb dongle which is a kcorp kls-685.
I have posted the ipconfig/all text below. I have the password for the secured network, this problem has happened in various locations and my laptop is the only common denominator, I am sure it is to blame.
Many thanks for your help.
