T61 wireless can't connect with authentication key enabled

Hello all,
I have a new Thinkpad T61 that will properly connect to my wireless network when the router is configured as unsecured but CANNOT connect when I set up a network key.  In my router config I have tried using both the WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentications.  I enter a 9 character network key made up of ordinary numbers that it accepted by the router, and save settings.  The other settings on the screen are:
WPA Group Rekey Interval = 0
WPA Encryption = AES
WEP Encryption = Disabled 
In the Windows wireless interface I select the network, type in the key, and get to the “acquiring network address” stage but no further.  The connection window shows that packets are being sent and received.  As soon as I go back to my router config and set it as unsecured, the wireless connects no problem.  I have tested another laptop on the network with a passkey and it connected without any problems. 
Occasionally when I am tinkering with the wireless settings (especially after clicking on the wireless tray icon) the system locks and I have to reboot.  Before the reboot I get a program “not responding” dialog box where it asks me to end explorer.exe and a program called CiceroUIWndFrame.exe 
The system came pre-loaded with Linux but I’ve changed to XP Pro.  I have done all Windows updates, through SP3 and re-installed the driver for the network adapter 7kwc50ww.exe (I hope correctly??).  I am using Windows to configure wireless, but thinkvantage ver. 4.52 is also running.  I tried disabling Windows networking and configuring through thinkvantage, but this fails also. 
I have called tech support on my DSL company but they are out of ideas and think it is my router but I am doubtful because it was working fine before I got the new machine, and it worked on the other laptop.  I think something must have gone wrong in the XP install. 
Any ideas??
Cheers,
Will

A quick and dirty test would be to completely uninstall Access Connections and try using just the Windows Wireless Zero Configuration. In my personal opinion, unless you are using multiple wireless configs at multiple locations the ThinkVantage software is overkill. Also, if you search the board, you will find multiple instances of SP3 wrecking wireless. Let us know if this helps.

     Cheers, Tom
    I beg to differ.
    You can use a regular keyboard with the camera connection kit, I have been using one for more than a year.
    The proviso is that you do not get any of the functions of a cursor or the back / forward keys but these functions  can easily be carried out by using the touchscreen. I find it a lost easier to write long documents using a usb keyboard as I am used to touch typing so an external keyboard is a  lot faster than using the iPad screen.

  • How can I connect with the AspNetUsers table in MVC 5?

    I have a model, in which I have used several foreign keys from other tables. The point is that I also need to get the Id of the user, from the AspNetUsers table, though, I don't know how. I have done something like this, but it doesn't seem to be working:
    public class Message
        public int MessageID { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage="Please type a message to submit")]
        [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
        [Display(Name="Message")]
        public string MessageText { get; set; }
        public DateTime WrittenOn { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage="Please select a ticket")]
        [ForeignKey("Ticket")]
        [Display(Name="Ticket")]
        public int TicketID { get; set; }
        public virtual Ticket Ticket { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a business")]
        [ForeignKey("Business")]
        [Display(Name = "Business")]
        public int BusinessID { get; set; }
        public virtual Business Business { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a user")]
        [ForeignKey("aspnetusers")]
        [Display(Name = "User")]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public virtual ApplicationUser ApplicationUser { get; set; }
    When I try to create a controller using the Entity Framework with my model, I get an error message saying:
        The ForeignKeyAttribute on property 'Id' on type ... is not valid. The navigation property 'aspnetusers' was not found on the dependent type ... The Name value should be a valid navigation property name.
    If someone could help me solve the problem, I would be glad.

    how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

And she is from Turkey. I talked to people from US, South Africa and other remote countries but I can't establish connection with Turkey! And i'm from Poland. Does Turkey block connection from Poland? She has the same problem. She can't connect only with me - she talks to people from all over the world expect me. Can you help me?

  • I can't connect with using connector

    Hi,
    I want to create a system(Solman 4.0) in Portal.I have created a SAP system using dedicated application server and then I filled all necessary fields.I tested with using system connection test.There are two test nameS(SAP Web AS Connection and Connection test for Connectors)Firstly, I checked WAS Connection and everything was ok but when I tested "Connection Test for Connectors" it didn't work.When I clicked test button, it said "Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct" but I didn't use UIDPW.I used the Logon Ticket method and system_type is SAP_CRM but when I checked log file, it said this message "(R3/BW) Failed to get connection. Please contact your admin".I didin't understand because I have already used SAP_CRM syte sytem type.Why do I get this message. In addition, The ume.usermapping.unsecure is already on TRUE.In short, I can't connect with using connector.What's the problem?

    I've only got one ID so I can't test but Winston says you can be signed into iTunes with multiple AppleIDs (i.e authorise iTunes for more than one ID content) at the same time, and that even different account content will stream so long as Home Sharing ID in iTunes matches AppleTV Home Sharing ID.

    I know this is an Apple forum, but is there anywhere that we can get info about AOL's servers (i.e., which regions are having trouble, etc)? I'm in France, and AOL seems to shut down at about 6:00pm every day. This is very frustrating, since the people i'm trying to talk to are in the US.
    Edit: the firewall port solution doesn't work, either. It's AOL.
