Lenovo T43 doesn't like WPA

    Hello.

    I have purchased my second Lenovo Thinkpad, a T41P and now a T43, and neither one seems to be able to receive a DHCP assignment when using the WPA-PSK setting. The wireless adapter seems to connect but then waits indefinitely for an IP assignment. The configuration screen for the wireless adapter shows several choices for WPA, WPA-PSK, etc but only WEP seems to work.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks
    Mark

    Satrow,

    Thanks. I have been using a 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point v 1.03.12 on my network for several years. I purchased a new Dell laptop two years agon and that has no issue with WPA, just these refurbished Thinkpads.
