F-ed up wireless connection feel like ripping a hole in my LCD screen
Okay guys set aside the internet I have 2 computers call one Venice and the other Sempron they are both using Windows XP (one is Pro the other is MCE) and both use PCI wireless cards.
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=94367 I have the drivers installed on both machines whenever I do a scan I get this (on both computers)  Okay I'll try and connect ...   Okay, I have restarted my router many times here is the router: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=64620 *The networking stuff is all new. *This morning for some reason on Venice it connected and I typed the IP in Firefox and came up options, etc but I forget what happened I started getting a "limited or no connecticty" message, I reinstalled the drivers on Venice and it seems like this now, so is my other computer. Can anyone help me?! |

Your problem might be the default PCI card settings are incompatible with the default router settings.
I have the same problem if I try to connect my 802.11b network adapter to my 802.11g access point....it won't work because they are incompatible, unless I configure the access point to operate in a multi-mode g and b compatible operation. To overcome this, you have to connect to your router physically using an ethernet cable. I'm not familiar with the router you have - from the website, it looks like it might have many different modes of operation - I'm assuming that you can configure it manually to be sure that it matches the operation of your wireless network PCI cards. Hope this helps. |

Good Job
Glad you figured that out - sorry I had go out. Every router and network piece of equipment is different...just takes a lot of persistence and the patience of a saint!

 I am about to set up a wireless also...today is D-day. After reading everyones nightmare experiences I am now NOT looking forward to this. Just a quick question on the subject: What if I were to set up an ad-hoc network between 2 nodes using wireless nics. Node 1 would be wired to the dsl TA. Then just run ICS for Node 2? Would this be easier (and a bit cheaper with out buying a wireless router)? Or is it even workable. TIA Steve See also my post "D-link router & verizon DSL" for what I am about to do. |
