Hi,

Wondered if you guys have any ideas on my problem:

I have a wireless network running a WRT54G with a laptop running on xp.

The security is set to WEP, I have read that this is now old hat and I should change to WPA.

On the admin website ( http://192.168.1.1 ) I changed the Wireless security settings to WPA Personal / TKIP. and the code.
On the laptop under the tab Wireless network connections / propeties changed to WPA Personal / TKIP. and the code.

The problem I have is after changing the settings on re boot of the laptop it says I'm connected to the network and generating a IP address is being generated, 20 mins later I'm still waiting for a IP address and no internet connection.

Change everything back to the original settings ie: WEP and everything is ok

Is there anything I'm missing out and should be doing

Any ideas please ?

Thanks in anticipation
