WN111v2 on Windows XP won't connect

Hello,

I just re-installed Windows XP Pro on my desktop. It used to have Windows 7. I used to access internet wirelessly on Win7 with this Netgear WN111v2 adapter. So the adapter is in working condition.

So I put the drivers (tried both version 3.0 and 3.1) on a USB key and installed them on that desktop.The installation went fine, the program runs fine. It can even identify wireless networks around my house.

I chose my wireless network, entered WEP passphrase and it connected. Then in the bottom right side of my screen there is a little commputer and a yellow dot is moving next to it and if I hover over it is says "Acquiring network address".

Here is what I see when I type ipconfig /all :

(Sorry, can't get the pictures to work properly.. But if you open the link, you'll see them...)

Apparently, on Win7, we had gotten it to work after we made it so that the wireless connection was made through the Windows application, NOT the Netgear one. Does this make sense?

I checked this thread first to try and figure it out, but no success.

Please help!
