| 836335 | 2009-12-04 03:50:00 | I have just finished installing a fresh XP pro O/S on my PC. I want to connect this PC to my wireless network which is run by this PC I am online with now. I have a network key which I have sucessfully used before to connect other PC's (my wife's one) to the network/internet. But I'm having problems getting this code entered as the code is 10 characters long - it says it should be 5 or 13. This new PC can see the network. I click on CONNECT and the light flashes on the Thompson TG123g adapter but no connection. I have tried setting it to Use Windows to Configure my Network Automatically & the key is provided for me automatically - but no joy. Any ideas welcome or maybe a link to how to set all the settings? |

| 836336 | 2009-12-04 03:52:00 | Is it up to date?? Did you install SP2, and 3? Have you installed the chipset drivers / and drivers as well? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 836337 | 2009-12-04 03:58:00 | No I haven't. Actually, I thought that may help so I've been searching around for my copies. I've found SP3 - but I suppose I can't put that on until I find/install SP2 - correct? | straka01 (310) | ||
| 836338 | 2009-12-04 04:03:00 | Good question, I think you need SP2 to install SP3. But if SP1 is installed, installing SP3 MAY work. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 836339 | 2009-12-04 04:14:00 | This XP cd doesn't say if it has any service packs included. It's a 2002 version. On the COA it says: Windows XP Pro 1-2CPU whatever that means. Is there an easy way to find out which (if any) service packs are installed? Do I need SP1? I've found SP2 & SP3 - they're ready to install. |

| 836340 | 2009-12-04 04:18:00 | Installing SP2 then SP3 should work fine. You cant download SP1 now anymore (altho there is a small install file on the MS site). But, you have to stay online for it to install. I would say the cd you've got doesnt have any service packs on it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 836341 | 2009-12-04 04:21:00 | Checked in the MY PC - properties - it says SP1. So I'm loading up SP2 now. After I've put on SP3 I'll see if I have more luck connecting. Thanks | straka01 (310) | ||
| 836342 | 2009-12-04 04:23:00 | You should have more luck. Because SP2/3 have more in them for wireless networking than SP1. Which doesnt have anything | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 836343 | 2009-12-04 06:15:00 | Good news. It connected easily after I'd installed SP3. Well done Speedy & many thanks. | straka01 (310) | ||
| 836344 | 2009-12-04 06:24:00 | Sweet thats good to hear | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
