FYI - I have 4 year old laptop with Windows 7 & Nod 4 security suite. At some of my clients I can connect to their secure WAP (not Netgear), but don't get an IP thru DHCP. Connecting with ethernet cable is never a problem. I just disable the firewall get the IP address and then turn the firewall back on.
