Vista with WL500-Oleg WPA "limited conntectivity"
Hi!
I have the stange problem, that my WL500gp (Oleg 1.9.2.7-10) works flawlessly with Windows XP (my company notebook T60p and MSI Wind netbook)
After my company upgraded my T60p to Vista, I can not configure a valid connection in Vista. :(
It finds it, accepts the WPA PSK, but after connecting it keep's saying "limited connectivity", gets a dummy IP adress and no access to the internet.
(BUT a test conneciton to a WPA enabled Thomsons router worked ...:confused:)
The MSI Wind can always still connect (also my Ipod Touch). :confused:
I've tried:
- Several ways of defining my hotspot
- changed WPA to WPA2 (enterprise etc) ... nothing
- Disabling the IPv6 service
- Disabling IPv6 on the WLAN adapter
- Setting the DhcpConnBbastFlag in the registry
- Disabling the DhcpForceBroadcastFlag in the registry
I'm stuck ... hours of googling ... and not wiser ...
Does anybody have an idea? Is this a general issue with WL500 and Olegs FW?
I would appreciate any help ... thanks in advance!

solved ... but with different FW
Hi
thanks for your reply!
I tinkered around with the current oleg-fw build, but nothing seemed to work. There is definitly an issue with the way Vista uses the WLAN interface.
With an paralell installed Thomson router my vista was able to connect.
I've decided to try an other alternate FW on my asus WL500 -> dd-wrt ...
AND it works like a charm now ... without changing anything on my vista.
My WL500 modifications are now gone ... but im using anyway a new more powerfull unix server.
So ... my solution to change to dd-wrt seems a little bid odd ... but for me it worked and I found NO other solution without changing my business vista installaton (which i can't)
Cheers
Anton
