Wireless Connection

[bascom]

Just purchased a vaio vgn-a195hp and it cannot detect my Linksys wirless network. Presently run Dell Laptop and US Robotics Card in workstation so network is fine. Any ideas?

good morning! .. good "thought" .. I DIDN´T at the very beginning, searching for everything else first :smileygrin: ; by the way .. my wireless unit is deactivating itsself periodically (5 minutes appr.), interrupting lan connection .. any idea about that? would be very greatful for any hints ..

psae.: vaio type is PCG-K215Z, access point d-link router DI-714P+

"Solution A01048

Description:

When I connect to the Wireless LAN, it disconnects after a few minutes - I have installed the Windows XP Service Pack 1 on my VAIO computer. 

Solution:

When connecting to the Wireless LAN, clear the check box in front of the option Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network."

.. it IS checked!
