Prev: THANKS - : No option to start wireless connection on XP
Next: Computer won't connect to other networks
From: RobFJ on 16 Apr 2010 05:06 With Lem's help I've managed to trace and resolve the problem. I use Kaspersky Internet Security and when I initially set up WAP access, KAV automatically added entries into its Firewall settings. For some reason it put in a range of IP settings that it would recognise and, by default, barred the others. I got around it by deleting the wireless connection in windows and, with all other pc's switched on, re-established a new wireless connection. KAV then picked up the correct IP range and everything is now OK. Hope this helps someone else.
