edawad Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hey, I installed Longhorn on my laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook S6120), and installed the Intel Proset drivers from Fujitsu's site. It detects my wifi network and connects (shows the little lan icon on the lower right) but the connection itself won't work. I've tried going to 192.168.1.1 and that doesn't work either. On XP it works fine, but I use Intel Proset's software to connect. When I tried to install the Proset software using the MSI installer, the setup said it wasn't compatible with 64-bit OS's, and I can't modify the compatibility mode of MSI files. Anyone have luck with wifi and longhorn? Thanks, Edward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoge3k Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 As many of us have discovered, 4051's TCP/IP stack is quite rooted. Its broken. So this maybe why the wifi isn't working. It was hard enough to get regular networking on a domain to work well :p. Are you using a static IP on the longhorn box, or a dynamic one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrkarp Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I've got wi/fi working with 4051 on my Dell Latitude D600 (1.6GHz Centrino, 1GB DDR, Dell TruMobile 1300 (802.11 b/g)). I ran the installer for the drivers in Windows XP compatibility mode. Installed fine, connected fine, works fine. /karp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edawad Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 Hi, I can connect fine, it's just that in the little network systray icon, the top monitor never blinks (I don't receive), so the Internet doesn't work. I remember having this problem before on winXP (resolved by using Intel proset, not possible in LH) so this probably isn't a LH specific problem. I would have usually fixed it by messing around with Network wizard, but LH won't let me touch that :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edawad Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 OK from the guide I disabled MS IPv6 from network properties, so now it seems like I'm receiving data as well, but Internet is still a no go. I tried changing to "Windows Locator" or something too but whenever I restart it goes back to blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
