Searched and didn't find anything that useful. Let me know if yall find something helpful.
I just bought a Netgear 802.11g Wireless Router WGR614 and am trying to hook it up. My computer is a Dell Latitude D800 that already has a wireless card in it. I go through the steps the router says and then when i try to connect to the internet, it recognizes the wireless network and says I have a good signal strength, but for some reason won't connect to the internet.
I remember a long time ago when i built a computer with a LAN card, I had to give the modem time to reset or something. I tried that but still nothing.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Did you go through the little start up process that the router makes you go through? 8/9/2005 1:13:48 PM |

1# Repeat the above action whenever you have a problem. This tends to be tedious and can result in a lot of reconnects.
2# You could try to stop Windows XP from trying to grab a better wireless connection by waiting until you get a good connection, and then:
* Click on "Start"
* Select "Run..."
* Type "CMD"
* When the command prompt comes up, type "SC.EXE STOP WZCSVC" and hit enter
o NOTE: if you roam to another area after this...it may be necessary to follow the above steps, but instead of the above command, type "SC.EXE START WZCSVC"
3# Find the Wireless Zero Configuration in services and set it to load automatically and set each failure to "Restart the service."
4# Turn off "Use windows to manage wireless networking" in the advanced section of the wireless connection. This forces Windows to use the hardware manufacturer's driver.
