Ok I'll check it out can't see why the card would need update as it was working on my other laptop which ran xp home but I will take a look and see how it goes....the guy that I brought it from stated that all software etc was all up to date with patches etc,,,,but i guess it doesnt hurt to look

The XP Pro may have been up to date, but not for 3rd party devices and drivers. Windows update may even find this for you.

k I will hook it up and get all updates

OMG........its on service pack1:eek::eek::eek:
ok going to download sp2 I'll see you back here in 6 weeks when I have downloaded it:eek: .........let's see if that alone will help.

I'm sure somebody down your way must have XP SP2 on CD that you can borrow. Post it up as a question and see if there's a response.

I have it here on disc from my other computers BUT the toughbook doesn't have a cd rom drive, I have to buy an external to go on it so unless the sp2 info could possibly fit on a jump drive it will have to be downloaded:(

From memory its a maximum of about 250MB so should fit on a USB stick.

Put the CD in another system and see what size it is.

I've got an old 1GB memory stick, so if you get really stuck, I'll put SP2 (and SP3) on that and send it over. Let me know if you need it.

Meanwhile, unless you're using WPA2, you should still be OK on SP1 to sort your wireless issue out!

From the original post, it sounds as though you either have the encryption wrong, or are entering a different type of key to the one it expects. Can you do a screenshot of the wireless config & security pages in the dlink and post them?
