Toshiba 4600 Wireless problems....

Hello,

I have a wired network at home and thought it about time to go wireless. So,
to that end, I'll describe my network setup.

I have a DLINK DSL-504 ADSL Router with my main PC connected using a cable.
DHCP is enabled on my router with suitable IP address range.

I also have a LinkSys WAP11 v2.2 connected to the ADSL Router.

One of my laptops has a LinkSys WPC11 card which connects fine and dandy,
obtaining an IP address from the ADSL router, so internet connectivity is
great on that side.

My little server PC now has a US-Robotics wireless card, and again, no
problems connecting there.

However, I'm using my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 internal miniPCI wireless
card running Windows XP (fully updated). The wierd thing is, it finds my
LinkSys router and connects to it (using WEP) but refuses to receive any
data - therefore it cannot successfully obtain an IP address from my ADSL
router - and ends up assigning its own auto private address.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I need to do to get this
working?

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I find it's worthy to give you a picture of
my current network setup.

Regards

Ah-ha !!!

Success - it appears that for some reason, my Toshiba doesn't like the
128bit WEP encryption. Having reduced it to 64bit, I now have a fully
working wireless network.
