This is caused by setting the encryption to WPA-RADIUS instead of
WPA-PSK on the client radio. Both the router and the client are
trying to find a RADIUS server with which to authenticate your system.
Switch the encryption to WPA-PSK (pre-shared key) on both ends and it
will work.

You may have to settle for WEP passcode or none at all. The older technology may not understand any type of encryption. An alternative means of protection for you may be something called mac filtering. You will have to do the research. Good luck.

If the router is too new it may not be backwards compatible with wireless b standards. Otherwise check the router settings for something like "wireless b mode" adding older technology will slow down all devices on the wireless network. It may be easier to find a used wireless g pcmcia card online.

Most of the newer routers use a newer type of encryption (WPA or WPA2) which is not supported by older 802.11b hardware.

Either set the Linksys router to use WEP encryption, or get a newer 802.11g card for the old laptop which can use WPA or WPA2 encryption.

Older versions of Windows XP also need to be upgraded to Service Pack 3 or apply this patch:
