This message is about to drive me nuts!!!
I thought I had successfully secured our wireless network, and now, pretty consistently I receive that message. This is the set up...
Cable modem, netgear wireless router, desktop with xp sp2. I believe it has sp2.
My laptop xp-pro with sp2 and our mac sign on fine with the user name and password, but I'm getting the limited or no connectivity. I never received this message when the network was open to the neighborhood...lol.
Any trouble shooting suggestions?
Thank you
Good questions
Don't know that I have any answers for them though.
Will be interesting to note who else responds.

I'm 99% sure your entering the key wrong.
double check by looking at what the key should be on the router via ethernet or a wifi connection that works.
Did you change anything else? Spasificly anything that said dhcp or mac anyware in it?
As far as I know, I haven't messed with the dhcp nor mac.
The key? Do you mean the WPA key? I'm entereing those in correctly, because I do actually connect eventually. When I do the windows repair, it'll work. The problem is, I'm having to do that nearly everytime I use my laptop.
Lol, it is irritating me, because I have this feeling that I'm missing something. Some small detail and then it'll work.
I have a wireless internet and it works most of the time. The only trouble is, I have to reset it every time I go home or o college, because obviously not in the same place. The wireless network is pretty good here at college, except from when some stupid person somewhere else in the college decides to play CDs on the college computers, which slows everything down.
