Compaq W200 and Dlink 624+ = no connection ?

[Christian Rübsamen]

Hi,
i am a new owner of an D-Link 624+ and i have a big problem with my Evo n610c with Wlan W200. The access-point works fine with other card, and my W200 works finde with other Access-Points. But together it still doenst work. I try to disable security, to change the channel IDs, change the firmware,. Nothing help. (There is NO IP and MAC-Filter installed and of course I use the latest driver from the HP-Website!)
But the strange thing is: The Laptop gets an IP-address from the access-point dhcp server !!! But after that, nothing is possible: No Ping (internet and lan), no filetransfer: nothing.

In another thread it says, that i have to switch the "preamble"-setting, but on the 624+ there is no setting like this! (only on the 624 - without "+").
Does anyone has a hint for me? Is this W-Lan-Card not compatible to the DLink 624+?

Please help me, because i searched hours to solve the problem.

Regards
Christian

Christian,
I recently had same problem with DLINK DI-514.
It seemed to work, got IP, but never saw any received packets, and nothing possible after that.
Based upon your 'preamble' suggestion, I changed that on the DI-514, and it worked for me. I think this would be the right path for your issue also.
Perhaps a firmware update for the 624 allows for the preamble change, or perhaps you can inquire with DLINK on a course of action?

I've had a similar issue with another router.
You might want to try disabling MAC Address filtering if you're using that feature. That seemed to fix mine.

As an alternate troubleshooting method, you can eliminate all security on your router and slowly build it back until you can't get a connection via your W200 card. Once you enable a feature that disables your connectivity, reverse one step and that's the way you cruise your wireless web.

Since the W200 was manufactured pretty early on in the wireless world, they don't provide as many advanced features as some cards and routers have available.
