I recently installed Windows XP SP2. After I installed it I noticed that I couldn’t connect to my Wireless network any more. After spending a couple of hours searching the web and trying different settings on my AP, I discovered that it was my firewall that was blocking some call to or from my AP. I am running McAfee Firewall and ZoneAlarm. After I shutdown my firewalls I was able to connect. I also think that MAC address filtering doesn’t work the same as it did before (However I didn’t really look into it and just switched over to WEP security). So now I need to figure out how to configure my firewalls to work with my wireless network.
