Wireless not working on XP Pro

I am trying to connect to my wireless router (D-Link 802.11G) with a MacBook Santa Rosa and Windows XP Pro. It sees my wireless router, but hangs when it tries to connect. Other wireless connections work that are unsecured. The one that doesn't work uses WEP security, is that possibly the issue? It never gets to the point where I can enter the password. I tried pre-configuring it in the Windows wireless settings, but still no luck. It just says "waiting for connection" or something like that. Signal strength is five-bars, not a problem.

"The one that doesn't work uses WEP security, is that possibly the issue?"
This could be the issue. In fact I've had to disable WEP security AND turn on SSID broadcasting to even get a windows system to recognize my LAN before. After doing that and then successfully connecting to the LAN, what I needed to do was turn SSID broadcasting back off, then turn WEP security back on and when trying to connect to the same network again via the windows system that was giving me troubles, it picked up on the WEP and asked me for the WEP passkey. From that point on, the windows system kept that info and I had no problems after that.
Hope this helps.

    Hi  sparhk, and welcome.
    One of the Lenovo staff who frequents the forum put out a call to help you in a private forum.  I do a little Linux, so I poked into it.  To my amazement my first Google hit was your thread where you indicate you have solved the problem.  (At least, it _looks_ like you...)
    May I respectfully suggest that a post back here indicating success would be a nice touch?  That way anyone who passes by looking for help with this issue will have a better chance of finding it.  For posterity, here it is (see post number 25):

  • I updated my mac's OS to Yosemite and now my eye drop tool will NOT work inside premiere pro. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

    The eyedropper tool for selecting colors to key out or to fill text will not work inside premiere pro, this error started when I updated my mac os to yosemite.

    Hi Transportation,
    Does the error occur in OS X 10.9? If not, why not remain at OS X 10.9? Is it necessary to run OS X 10.10?
    The general rule of thumb is that when you are running software that is no longer tested or supported on a new operating system, you have to prepare for anomalies like this. You may want to install a separate bootable hard drive with OS X 10.9 on it so you can continue running that software more reliably.
    Hope that helps,
    Kevin

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

    iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code.  It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30.  When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19.  I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem.  I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working.  Works fine on my iPhone.

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

  • USB superdrive not working with Mac Pro

    Is there a trick to getting a USB Superdrive working with a Macpro?
    The drive in the Macpro no longer ejects and have tried connecting the USB drive to both the front and back ports - does it not work with Mac Pros?
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    I had a problem my superdrive. It would play dvd's and cd's that were already burnt but would not burn blank DVDs or CDs- in the recent past it had no problems burning. In addition, the Finder would not display the superdrive. When I put a blank disc in it would go to Disk Utilities and would not allow burning. With help from Apple I discovered the problem-- The settings in CDS & DVDs had been changed from When you insert a blank DVD/CD "Ask what to do to  to  "GO to Disk Utilities". If this sounds like your problem try changing the settings to this:
    Try going to; System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs
    Change these two settings to this:
    When you insert a blank CD: Ask what to do
    When you insert a blank DVD: Ask what to do
    NOTE: If they are already set to this you probably have a different problem. If they are set to Go to Disk Utilitiy this is probably a solution.
    And
    Then go to Finder Preferences
    Make sure that under "Show these items on desktop:" that the checkbox for CDs, DVDs, and iPods is checked.
    Try to burn the DVD again (reload Disc- perhaps restart) and try again.
    Don't know how these setting changed but they did. It worked for me.

    All I get under printers is the USB kind and NOT the Wireless/Bonjour kind.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks.  

    Hi @Random_Pelican ,
    I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on 10.10. I would like to help you out today.
    If the printer has a valid IPv4 address and you still can't add the printer as a Bonjour printer, most likely Multicasting is turned off on the router, since your not able to add the printer as a bonjour device and the other devices won't recognize the printer. Just call the router company and have them turn it on.
    If the printer doesn't have a valid IPv4 address please try these steps:
    Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometime the Embedded Web Server won't open if it isn't.
    Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
    I will provide the steps for 10.9, which should work the same for 10.10.

    Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
    Laserjet P1102w.
    You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
    You have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer to install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
    Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that should automatically load.
    Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
    Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
    Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
    The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
    Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
    Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
    Apply the settings.
    Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
    Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
    Disconnect the USB cable.
    Test the printer.
    Let me know how you make out.
    Have a great day!

  • T41 Wireless Not Working

    When I bought my used T41 it had XP Pro installed and the wireless was working; I connected to my home wireless network and was able to access the web.
    I use the T41 to rum my CNC machine and decided to remove the XP Pro and installed XP Home (I thought MS will have all the required drivers – but I was wrong). After the XP Home installation I noticed that the wireless and Ethernet were not working and I went to Lenovo download site and got some drivers and now the Ethernet is working but no the wireless.
    The T41 has a light for the wireless close to where the lights for caps etc is and this light is off now. I remember with the XP Pro this light was on.
    How can I get the wireless working again?
    Solved!

    All is fine now, I was using an IBM driver but the INTEL Pro did the trick
