Connection problem with wireless. Verizon and D-link.

My son has Verizon DSL hard wired to his desktop. He also has 4 other
computers linked wireless to his desktop.The wired Desktop has a Verizon
provided Westell 2200 modem. The router is a D-Link DI-624. On one of the
wireless computers, he recently created a second account, so his son could
have an I Tunes account ( one of the other children already had an I Tunes
account on this computer, Apple recommended the 2nd account route). Now when
THIS particular computer ( has D-Link Air Plus DWL-G520 card) is turned on,
the wireless connection does not occur automatically. He always has to right
click on Connection and hit the repair tab. Seems like a MS problem. Any
suggestions?

I assume this is XP? Are you using Windows to manage the wireless or
the D-Link utility? Does the network show in the list of preferred
networks? what kind of security are you using?

check and see if you have the latest firmware for the hardware
revision of the 624 that you have.

I believe the Westell 2200 is a router as well as a modem. Do you
have the 624 configured as an access point (no DHCP, no NAT) so that
the Westell serves up IP addresses?

Post the text results of ipconfig /all from the desktop and from the
wireless computer (2 of them, 1 when in the "bad" state, and 1 when
connected). This will help us understand how things are configured.

I will forward this to my son for a response. I know he has Windows XP. And
the Westall is a ROUTER.
