Limited or No Connectivity after encryption is applied



dealing with a D-Link router here...it works great.

The only thing is the minute encryption WPA or WEP is applied  - I get the message
limited or no connectivity ?

You need to make sure the same encryption method is set on the wireless card and the router.

Also some cards handle encryption in different ways when it comes to password entry, best sticking with manually entered keys in hex on both the card and router.

Mad Jasper, Thanks a million for your post. I had the exact setup as you mentioned but WITHOUT
entering the SID. The network was set up again this time with an SID and it worked great first time!

I thought SID was just used as a sort of identifier but it is obviously more imporant.

Also to note, is that the D-Link Wizard mentions nothing about SID - they should !

Thanks to all who responded - much appreciated.
