D-Link WDA-1320 suddenly stopped connecting to router
I have a D-Link WDA-1320 Wireless PCI card.
My router is a Linksys WRT54G.
For several months, I had no connection problems. Everything worked great out of the box. A few weeks ago, it suddenly stopped connecting with no helpful error messages, and nothing in the event viewer pointing to an error.
After about 2 days, it suddenly started working again. It worked for another 2 weeks. For the last 4 days or so, I haven't been able to connect again. The only error message is the wonderfully helpful "Windows was unable to connect to linksys".
I can connect to my neighbors netgear router just fine.
There is currently no authentication required on the router.
Things I have tried:
3 sets of drivers: 2 from MS, and a vista 64 bit driver from d-link.
resetting the router
3 different broadcast channels
changing the SSID
uninstalling the wireless card and reinstalling manually.
uninstalling the wireless card, restarting, and letting windows find it.
physically moving the wireless card to a new PCI slot.
completely uninstalling my antivirus program
disabling all windows firewall options. disabling ipv6 in two different ways
trying to connect to a "linksys" ad hoc network (somehow that worked for someone)
and from the command line:
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh interface ip delete arpcache
netsh int ip reset reset.log
netsh winsock reset catalog
edit: I should also note that I've attemped with and without DHCP enabled, and with and without a static IP.
I'm officially stumped. Any help from you wonderful souls will be rewarded with e-chocolate.
