Re: interesting wireless card and linux issue

I have a Windows Xp desktop with a wireless card and it connects to the network fine but it won't
access the internet although if I take my Windows Xp laptop and use its wireless card to access
the internet, everything works just fine. I discovered that when I connect to the wireless
network, my desktop doesn't get a ip adress from the DHCP server like it should. I tried to repair
the connection with the repair function in Windows Xp and after that my desktop had an ip address
but it still didn't have anything else when my laptop also gets the DNS server, DHCP server and
the default gateway ip addresses. Does anyone know what is causing this problem?

Thanks in advance.
