Title: WiFi
Post by: dguy on January 13, 2007, 09:10:47 am
Anyone lurking here who's familiar with WiFi?  I thought that I knew what I was doing, but seem to have a puzzle on my hands...

I'm trying to get a D-Link DWL-G630 which has been installed in an old Win98 laptop to talk to a LinkSys WAP54G access point, with mixed results when encryption is involved.

The client supports WEP, WPA, and WPA-PSK.
The WAP supports WPA personal, WPA2 personal, WPA Enterprise, and RADIUS.

Therefor one would think that the highest common denominator should be WPA personal/PSK, right?

The client can pick up the WLAN when encryption is either disabled, or set to WEP and the appropriate key has been configured. No prob.

Tell the client to go WPA-PSK, the WAP to use WPA Personal, set the passphrase on each, and.... nothing. Try different passphrases, different channels, no luck.


Any ideas?   ???
