I have recently connect 2 Windows XP desktop computers to wifi and today i am trying to connect an old Windows XP laptop to wifi and it doesn't work. I keep getting this error "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log on to the network".
When i installed the software for the Micro USB adapter it said i needed to get a hotfix from Microsoft so i tried to install the hotfix and naturally it didn't work What MS hotfix or patch does ever work on XP So i can't run Windows update to get any updates because of this XP end of support garbage.
How do i fix this? This thread is locked. By using this service, some information may be shared with YouTube. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published.

Wifi not working on windows XP. I had windows xp sp3 on my Vostro laptop. How to resolve these problem in windows xp. All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic. Replies 2. Bobmcitp 2 Bronze. Hi there swapnilkumbhar Is hard to answer your question with specificity without a model number for your Vostro and is the win xp sp3 is 32 bits or 64 bits?
I understand that XP can let my card think I am using Windows ME ,or ? Would like to hear your opinion before I studiy this possibility. As a sad joke, D-Link anwered all my emails up to the point that I questioned the well being of the card and asked the procedure to send it back from Venezuela,for checkup; they replied real fast that they were not able to keep the service because I was in Venezuela, and that I should call on the phone my closest international representative which is in Santiago de Chile, miles further than California from Venezuela.
Alfredo1, Disable Thanks bcastner I already had taken I really believe that the card is no good, and I can do nothing about. I'll wait for a compatible program from dlink or throw it out. I was constantly dropping the wireless conection until I disabled WEP. Not the best solution, but I'm still looking for a better fix. Try setting the speed on the client from 'Auto' to fixed at 11 mbs.
I don't think its your card at all. I have the dlink g wireless card and it does the same thing. It will connect as soon as I turn the computer on for a while then all the sudden it just loses its connection. I am able to restore the connection most of the time; sometimes I can't tho. I've tried everything including calling dlink.
They have no answers for me Tech support people at companys like that are idiots. The interesting thing is is that I have a laptop with a built in wireless adapter and it works all the time perfect. Its an At times I think that is the problem but who knows. I think that it is the driver from dlink and that windows zero configuration thing not communicating correctly.
I'm going to go home and test a few things. Keep me posted on anything that happens with this. I agree with you, I wish you could see some of the answers D-Link gave me on email, not to mention the phone answer we can not take calls from out of the country.
Actually I am going to check with another brand and pherhaps buy it if it works. Actually our opinion on D-Link is not unique. It they are so good why don't day clasify for XP approval? Hi guys, My problem with WEP is a bit different than you guys. Two clients works just fine with the bit WEP key and the other two are not. The setting are exactly the same. I tried menully entered the IP setting with no luck. Any suggestion from you guys? HKNinja I don't think your problem is different from mine,only that I have just one laptop I do get the lights on the card to do the blinking, but do not get IP until I practically put the laptop on top of the router, then it shows a perfect connection that lasts while I keep the laptop close to the router Are the 4 adapters identical?
Two thoughts: 1. You need to choose the lowest common denominator in terms of bits if the adapters are not identical. XP SP1 supports 40bits or bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. You can enter more characters than the card in fact supports and your WEP will fail authentication. The key is case sensitive. Sorry for replying late Alfredol: Mine is not signal problem.
The signal can be very strong but still not getting IPs. I used the exact key and two works, two doesn't. Any more idea? You have to be sure that the two that do not work will support the key length used in the two that do work. Every adapter offers differing acceptable key lengths. If you enter bit key lengths in an adapter that can only handle 40 bits you will have the result you now see.
It helped me. I have a Compaq tablet PC. The workaround before I removed the recommended hotfix from microsoft from XP is to the start the machine and log on. Then turn off the wirelss interface using the "Q" menu.
Wait for the wirelss interface to shut off by checking the network connections control panel applet. Then, turn the interface back on using the Q Menu. You'll be in buisiness until the next time the machine goes into sleep or shutdown. I know the exact fix for the Lynsys wireless B Router. Dont config your wireless zero connection. Why because its crap and wont work. I dunt know who the hell came up with that.
Also they said to delete recommended hotfix from. Didnt help me. Upgrade your firmware for your wireless B and if that dont work email me or im me on misturr50 AIM sn. Did anyone solved the problem described by "HKNinja" yet? Odd enough, I have 2 g, one of them works just fine and it's very stable but not the another.
We are deploying wireless across campus here at our university. We have had lots of problems getting A couple of issues we have come across: If you have Windows XP and have installed the original Service Pack 1a, it needs to be uninstalled and the newer version installed. There was a bug in the earlier version that prohibits Also, there is a timeout issue with XP. On some cards, This is a known issue with XP and Microsoft has a patch, but you have to contact Microsoft directly to get it.
Man am I happy that I found this place. Here's my situation.. Running a speedstream WAP. Got 2 machines with linksys wpc54g cards. First machine is a dell laptop, running pro. Runs like a top when either wired or wireless. Second machine is It's a compaq Presario CA. Router is configured as follows; SSID is set to a unique value. Broadcast channel is 11 64 bit WEP is enabled. NIC Cards have been tested in teh Dell and both work fine in that macine.
In teh cases where it does connect, the connection stays up for few minutes then drops off. Last night, after spending about 4 hours with Compaq tech support we fiannly got it up and running NOT After a few reboot tests But after nightly shutdown Possible that as the original config was set to both infrastructure and peer to peer the Xp box may have been piggybacking on teh dell.
Not sure though When XP bx is started and Del is not active In a word OR: Not able withe Ethernet Cable too! Save Me Thanks! Make sure SSID broadcast is enabled on the wireless router. Make sure that under the Authentication tab for the notebook wireless adapter, that Test first without WEP enabled on both router and client. Make sure that the AP is defined as a "Preferred" Network, that you are set to connect only to preferred sites.
Finally, the "gotcha". At the bottom of the page on the linksys driver page for the wpc54g, they have a line that says, If you are having problems using this Adapter and you have a Texas Instrument CardBus Controller, please download this driver here. Did you give that a try? It is a different driver for the TI Cardbus controller. Use the version 1.
