Re: Activesync 4/WM5: Wireless network not available

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm getting the same effect on changing the router's wireless encryption to
WEP - Activesync and the wireless network seem to be working together quite
happily. Thanks very much for your help with a solution to this.

As I haven't found much on the internet about other people having this
problem I guess it must be pretty obscure - in which case I don't suppose
there will be any fix coming along very soon. I suppose I'll just have to
learn to live with WEP...

I'm using an Acer Aspire 1682 - Win XP SP2, with a built-in Intel
PRO/Wireless 2200bg network card connecting to a Netgear WGR614v5 router.
I'm not using any VPN software either.
