I'm trying to connect my Windows XP laptop to my AirPort Extreme. But it won't connect. It says invalid IP address and also keeps disabling in the acquiring IP address mode.
Got a tip for us?

Sometimes you need to install apple updates drivers/software to make it work.
Also in Windows XP I have experienced issues with the network key that requires you to enter it in Hex.

Open the start menu, click on run.
Type 'cmd'
type 'ipconfig /release_all'
After a few moments, try connecting again. FAiling that, restart to make sure it tries to get a new IP address.

It says that the IP address is 0.0.0.0. I did the cmd and the ipconfig /_all thing. It didn't really work. What to do?
Is your Airport Extreme setup already with the Airport Utility?
Is your pc network setup to obtain the ip address automatically, DHCP?

It tries to obtain the IP address but it can't. Can I just manually enter the IP address? I should let you know it is a Latitude laptop. I've heard of some problems with this particular model.
I'm pretty sure this is an XP to Dell wireless drivers issue, not a prob with the AE.
You must use the "Wireless Zero Configuration Utility" in XP to set up the connection, (Google it to find out how to open WZC).
Also run "msconfig" and check your start up items. Make sure there isn't something on the start up menu relating to Wireless connection as this can overwrite changes you make in WZC on start up.
