Cannot connect to wireless network...

Question

I cannot connect to wireless network.Yesterday I changed my MAC address and I have restored with the original one after.Today, I click on one the wireless network, I type the password, the wireless icon on the right-bottom changes (waiting for the network) but it does not connects. About 20 seconds it waits and connection interrupts and automacially it is trying to connect again. This happens again and again.   I have re-install the latest version of network driver.I have restored the system with (Ctrl+11).I have reset the network's modem.

can u let us know your operating system and which router? Are you cable or adsl? Why did you change your mac address?
Are you able to go to a command line and type ipconfig /all and put the output in to this forum - it could save time in trying to help.

My operating system is Windows Home Edition Turkish (Dell 6000). The wireless network is adsl. I see two networks. I cannot connect the two of them.

is Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network.

I have bought PC-WORLD magasine. I tried how a MAC address can be changed. The purpose is only learning.

ipconfig/all (now, i connect via ethernet cable)

Do you get the same thing for the wireless card if the ethernet cable is not plugged into the router?   Also see the following:   http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822123   Steve

Looks like you are connected via ethernet, but not connect via wireless. Make sure DHCP is enabled on your wireless. Try going into your router and turning off the passkey to check that, check for mac filters and DHCP is enabled for your wireless. can other people connect to these access points to eliminate the issue?

When the ethernet cable is not plugged only the last datas are shown. (0.0.0.0 ..) I have tried to connect some wireless networks at different places but I could not connect. These networks do not contain password. I will be try that DHCP configuration... But, are there any problem with my wireless card? Could it be burned?   Again... I see 'the network is preparing..' but I cannot connect.

So your not getting an IP address or an automatic IP address from Windows. I think ive seen one of those before, and I told the guy to replace his card. But it is odd for both your network card and your wireless card to go out, but it is possible. You could always contact dell via phone and see what they think of the problem if they find its a hardware issue and you are in warranty, they will replace it for you.
