Ok will try and ring tomorrow, it did run on the ethernet yesterday.
Update:
I think I can close this off now. The netbook has been investigated
in depth by remote by J Rumm for over an hour, the situation is still
not resolvedĀ* and looks like winxp is likely the issue. I am
confident that all the contributions by others were covered by John,
I say confident in as much I havent a clue to most of what he was
looking at.
Anyhow I do thank you all for your contributionsĀ* and a special
thanks to John for the time taken to investigate it for me.
For those still following along, I will give a quick summary of what
we know now...
So this is not a WEP/WPA issue. WinXP was correctly identifying WPA,
and actually connected without any difficulty.
so why was it issuing a wep error message?
What it does have is a DHCP problem after having authenticated on the
wifi. If I manually assign an IP in the correct subnet, then it works
ok. However that is not a useable solution for the use case required.
router has some special magic for its mac addr?
None that I could see - all MAC related filtering and access control
options are not configured.
