Robert,

What do you mean by "reset the wireless"? The link you gave me goes to an
article showing someone who has a possibly related problem, but there was no
solution that I have not already tried.

Here are the steps I have taken:

Reset the TCP stack using "netsh int ip reset c:\reset.log"
Reset Winsock using "netsh winsock reset"
Used Windows wireless management
Used Intel ProSet wireless management
Reset the router (it only goes up to WPA-PSK, not WPA2)
Deleted the wireless card from Device Manager and had it re-install
Used latest Dell drivers
Used latest Intel drivers

I will Google for "Network Access Protection" to see if I can kill that as a
possible cause.

Thank you for your help!

Gregg Hill
