No love between Airport Extreme and XP Pro

[Mac-Addict]

My Airport Extreme works fine with my wireless XP laptop but when I try but when I try to connect to my Airport Extreme on my MBP (under bootcamp) windows keeps telling me its 'Acquiring network address' but works under OSX. So I have to plug in by ethernet..

Just set the ip address manually.

I had this issue using WEP on my AEBS - for some reason Windows thought it was WPA and I would guess couldn't ever connect. I just switched the router to use WPA2 Personal and all was good.

I changed it from WEP to WAP2 Personal but now it just says "Windows is unable connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range, Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again." So I refresh and try again.. same message comes back up.

Did you have to reenter the key? If not, try removing it from your preferred networks and add it back.

Delete it from your Wireless Network preferences and try to reconnect. It should then reprompt you for a key.

Try downloading the WPA2 hotfix from Windows. That will make it so Windows XP can read WPA2 encryption.
