A coworker has an IBM Thinkpad T70 (I think that's the model), running XP Pro. It uses a 3COM PCMCIA wireless card. It connects to a brand new Netgear WAP (don't know the model off-hand).
Problem:
The wireless card almost always shows full signal strength but won't connect to the internet or the network. All other computers nearby (within 15feet) have no problems.
I usually end up refreshing the IP a couple times and it works. Then a day or two later I get a call that the problem is back.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have swapped the wireless card out for another and it has the same problems. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
