• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Here's the senerio -
Laptop with XP Home (I know..) w/ SP2 - 802.11b usb dongle (dlink)
Try to connect to my router - wep - and it connects - but doesn't get an IP. The router shows that it has given me an IP address. I check the status - and it shows that I've sent packets, but nothing received. I've changed from Open and Shared key(In shared mode it doesn't conenct at all and the router is in shared mode too) and nothing still. If I connect to an open router - and get an IP address with no problem.

I've gone and uninstalled all wireless related drivers (even the phantom ones).Rebooted a couple times.. Any ideas, beside opening up my router for everyone to use?
 
Never mind - I should be hung like a noob..
I fogot that the key was changed a while back ago.. and I was using my old key instead of the new one..
