Wireless networking problem by z1root2005-10-04 12:20:05
  Further info so far: by z1root 2005-10-04 13:41:50
Router: D-Link DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G Wireless Router (found WLAN LED blinking, the rest are steady or off)
Current Firmware Version: 2.28
Firmware Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2003

Workstation 2 wireless NIC: PCI-based Texas Instruments TI ACX100 WLAN Adapter
Driver Date: 9/30/2003

Rebooted router. Workstation 1 (which has both wired and wireless LAN cards) automatically connected. Workstation 2 reported NO wireless network until I told it to refresh the list. It then found the wireless network, identified it as one to automatically connect to, but did not connect until I manually told it to repair the wireless network.

After repairing the wireless network on w.s. 2 the I.P. address changed:
Before Rebooting Router:
IP Address: 169.254.XXX.XXX
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1

After Rebooting Router and repairing network:
IP Address: 192.168.0.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1

Also, during this process one additional network was detected after refreshing the list of available networks (war driver?).

It looks like a router problem combined with a workstation2-not-doing-something-automatically-like-it-is-supposed-too problem.

Ideas?
