Curse

I'm at my daughter and son in laws for the next few days so I hope you guys can help with this.

I'm here with my laptop which is wireless and trying to connect to their wireless router and I keep getting "problems applying profile". I've edited and added and I don't know what all and I'm still not getting in.

Help please!

What is your laptop's OS?
What is your WiFi card? (is it internal?)
Is the router set to accept all incoming traffic or do you need the encription key/code for it?

Once I had a similar problem and I had to actually install the router software on the laptop I was trying to connect before it worked....
good luck!

Heh, google + "problems applying profile" = this: http://support.intel.com/support/wir.../CS-023093.htm

Solution:
Checkmark "Disable EAP-FAST Enhancements (CCXv4)" in the Wireless Profile Properties configuration window. Continue the EAP-FAST configuration process.

May be more along those lines though...

@ Snog: The was the first thing we did last night. I always exhaust all possibilities (that I know) before I ask for help.

Also, tried the cisco thing but it was the other thing, not cisco.

@ Elder III: OS is Windows XP and the wireless is internal. I think the router is set to accept because they have another computer and the wii in (or on?) the network. I thought I had it installed because I have one that I carry around with me when I go somewhere where this is no wirless router.

I ran a trouble shoot on my lap top and it said that TCP/IP is not enabled. Now, would that be on my end or the router? Would that also trigger the "problem applying profile" message?

Not the best but:
- Can you plug a rj-45 (ethernet cable) directly into the router? does that get you online?

- Some routers make you plug into them directly before wireless works.

- Do you normaly run a static IPaddress at home? Is the router there configured to give you an IP or let your comp choose it?

- You can try once you are wired straight to it:

Start>run>ipconfig /release
then
Start>run>ipconfig /renew

Sorry, Rykes - got over-used to starting with the real basics

TCP/IP is on your end and I'm pretty sure you typically want that enabled for a wireless network.

if you go to Network Connections - right click Wireless Network Connection - Properties - Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) is towards the bottom of the list on the "General" section of Properties...... double check that it is checked.

hope you can get it running - I know it sux to be without the 'net for long. :/
