DHCP client not working on WLAN after boot [Win XP]

Hi.
I've got a problem with a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP2.
I've browsed the forums, and I haven't seen anyone else with a similar problem.
The WLAN works on this computer, but I have to turn it off and on before it works.
If I boot the computer with no ethernet cable connected, log in and wait for Windows to connect to a WLAN, I get limited or no connectivity.
The computer is able to connect to the WLAN I have chosen, but when it is supposed to recieve an IP adress from the DHCP Server it doesn't.
I either have to right click the wireless icon at the lower right of the screen and press repair, or I have to turn off and on the wireless radio with the switch on the laptop.
When I do this it works as normal.
If I use Access connections to set up a wireless connection, specify an SSID, encryption and choose to get IP from DHCP it works. I recieve an IP adress without turning the WLAN radio off and on.
The person using this computer is travelling a lot, and he is not very good with computers, so he doesn't want to use Access Connections to manually make a profile for each WLAN he uses.
How can I fix this and use windows to mange WLAN connections without having to using "repair" or turning the WLAN radio off and on?
Thanks in advance.

There is another thread on this problem about not recovering TCPIP addresses on this forum. the thread recommends installing an update. http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&thread.id=1620
Does the laptop have SP3 installed. I found this to be very helpful on my T23.

DHCP client not working

Ok here is the scenario:
I have a laptop with an up to date Arch installation, at home I use a static ip with my router which still has dhcp enabled for some other desktops.
Now at work I needed to use DHCP, so i reconfigured rc.conf to say eth0="dhcp". But it never got an ip address, it always fails. When I checked with ethereali could see the outgoing dhcp packet but no response from the server, the cable and server were clean because all was well under Windows. I tried both dhcpcd and dhclient but no luck with either.
I then compared the packets under windows and arch and came to the conclusion that the only noticeable difference is that the DHCP message type is "DHCP Request" under Windows and for some reason is "DHCP Discover" under arch (there's a binary difference in the packet and thats the way ethereal names the types). Now i'm wondering why the hell does it do that? Why can't dhcpcd and dhclient send a normal dhcp request? Am I missing something really obvious here? Because Dhcp is making me look like an idiot :S And I really need to get online under Linux for work.
Any help is appreciated. Thx.
EDIT: I also have Arch on my desktop, and just tried it using dhcp there, and it works fine. It might be worth mentioning that my desktop is rather out-of-date when it comes to packages while my laptop is prettymuch up-to-date. And yup the packet type is also "Dhcp Request" when i try it on my desktop instead of "Dhcp Discover".. weird.

Solved: Was a driver problem, if you have a broadcom wired ethernet chipset, you need the driver from broadcom because the kernel has some kind of reversed driver built in and it doesn't work properly.

RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal

The title pretty much says it all "RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal" The names of the RSS feeds are still there but all have the triangle error message beside them.

you may have already tried this but in the mailbox menu at the top, try to take all accounts offline then take them all back online again. if that doesn't work you can always do a rebuild which is kind of a pain, but it usually does the trick.

The forward, back, refresh, and stop buttons are not working. Even after installing the latest Firefox update. Also my home page stopped loading upon startup even tho I have it setup to do so. Anyone else experiencing these issues? This is my second request for help and of course, Firefox on-line support is always closed.

WRE54G - DHCP Soundbridge not working

I am sure everyone has has had issues getting a WRE54G up and runing at home - not the easiest of products (when using the encryption option).
I have an Organce LiveBox ADSL/Wireless router (Sagem badged Orange) and needed the range extended to get my Soundbridge (Pinnacle badged Roku) working elsewhere in the house.
A couple of problems:
- DHCP does not work via the WRE54G. Solved this by setting a static IP address on the Soundbridge (you telnet to it on port 4444 and use the ipset command line utility)
- The Soundbridge can access Internet radio stations fine, but if connected via the WRE54G then it loses contact with the Firefly media server
- WindowsXP PnP "sees" the Soundbridge the "other side" of the the WRE54G but cannot access it when you double click on the icon. Not an issue as just using the static IP address in the browser gets the configuration screen
I guess that I had expected the WRE53G to act more like a repeater, but is appears to be working as a bridge and the bridging function is somewhat broken.
Anyone have any ideas / fixes for the product? This is highly infuriating.

Try a different wall plug and see if that makes any difference, try a different power cable of the same power specification or a universal power adapter(if possible)...Maybe the Power Adapter is faulty and the unit is still functional...

Does the issue happen to all users? What’s your IE version? Is there any error when you access OWA 2007 in IE?
Please click Compatibility View settings in your Internet Explorer. Then, add the OWA site to the list of sites to be viewed in compatibility view and check whether the issue persists.

You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you. But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

WAP321 - DHCP for wifi clients not working

My WAP321 connected to a office switch A.
WAP321 wifi clients unable to get DHCP
Clients wired to switch A can recieve DHCP.
Using firmware vesion 1.0.2.3
I'm perplexed still.

Due to a earlier print issue I've reset the WAP321 and uploaded the latest firmware. Which seems to have fix the printer issues but not fix my DHCP request issue.
Been doing some more digging and drilled it down a little further.
What I have is unmanage switch(no vlan) which is connected to WAP321(with static IP).
I'm able to wifi SSID connect ok with the OSX laptop i.e. request DHCP work.
Now i'm running a VM on this laptop ( Virtual Box running FreeBSD )
VM/FreeBSD boots but is unable to get DHCP requests.
If i connect the laptop to another wifi AP point the same virtual box VM/FreeBSD - i'm able to get DHCP requests
(note: AP different make & connected to same unmanage switch)
Seems to surgest WAP321 could still be the issue.
Although (Virtual Box + FreeBSD VM) could also be an issue - which is beyond this forum.

Client certificate not working in E51 after FW upd...

In our company we have several E51 phones for using our mobile web services. In some cases we need to use client cetrificates for maximum security.
The situation is: with older firmware versions (100.x/200.x) the certificate and TLS handshakes are working fine, but after upgarding to the latest version (300.x) the browser starts complaining "The operation cannot be completed" when trying to open the https connection. The problem seems to occur in the handshake phase, so debugging and analyzing the problem is very difficult. It's notable that the certificate itself is valid (working with older fw) and is installed just fine. Some cert details: Type: X.509 Algorithm: SHA1RSA
Normal TLS connections without client certs work. The phones have been formatted and no backups have been restored after formatting, so the problem cannot be about old settings messing up the configuration.
Has any other had similar problems and have you been able to solve it somehow?

I am also having this problem where the certificate dialog (Windows Security is usually the title) is never prompted to the user. I tried it on several computers which are all part of the domain. The same computers can also login on another ADFS, so I have
working certificates.
I just get a page where a text says I should select a certificate but I never get the dialog to do so.
Any updates on this issue?
