Can't Ping D-Link DI-514 Wireless Router

Hello,

I have a D-Link DI-514 wireless router and I can't ping it over a
wireless connection. I'm using a TwinMOS D230 (Realtek 8180) PCMCIA
adaptor on Windows XP for the client, and it will only link if I
manually assign a IP address, but will never ping the router or other
machines. I've upgraded firmware and reset the unit several times,
tried different WEP settings (including disabled), and tried different
preamble settings. The outcome is always the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tommy

Does the router have DHCP enabled by default after you perform a reset?
Are you running a firewall on XP, even if it's the built-in one? Does the
manual mention what the router's default IP is? Let us know. --Jago

Turns out I just had a bad NIC! Had another identical one and it
works flawlessly. Too bad the wife can't get online until the
replacement gets in...
