I am running XP Pro with a D-link wireless card in the USB port. It connects to a wireless router which is connected to Verizon's FIOS (803.11G with WEP). Two other machines also share this router (One with Vista , one with Windows 98) and connect fine.
My XP connects to the router whenever I power it on. However the Browser (Either IE 7 or Firefox) will not connect to the internet.
If I disconnect the router, then reconnect to it, both of them will work fine. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? I can live with this but it is not ideal.
Sounds like the router has not assigned an IP for your XP machine.
You may be able to get a good IP by doing the following:
Start - Run - (type)cmd
A DOS-like box will appear with a blinking cursor.
At the blinking cursor type:
ipconfig /release - enter < notice the required space before the "/"
ipconfig /renew - enter < notice the required space before the "/"

What step did you take the first time you set up your XP machine to connect to your router with the proper WEP encryption code password?
I am not certain what steps I used in originally adding the D-Link card since I was trying to figure out what I was doing and also follow the instructions from D-Link and from Verizon as I went.
I did now follow your instructions to release and renew the I.P. When I restarted the computer, it connected to the router and I was able to immediately access the internet through my browser. For the second time, I thank you very much indeed. You have been extremely helpful.
