LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY WITH ALL BARS UP

Hello.

Just installed win xp pro. Installed the new driver for wireless
network adapter. Connection is set but not working! It says "Limited or
no connectivity" with all the bars up... Device manager says hardware
is working properly. Please help!

Actually not connected -- that's a Windows lie.

DHCP has failed.

Likely security key mismatch. Verify by turning off *ALL* security as a
test. If that works, turn security back on. If using WEP (bad idea --
use WPA instead), be sure to enter all keys in *HEX* (not
characters/ASCII). Don't use MAC filtering or turn SSID broadcast off,
which won't help security but will cause problems.
