Home Network Problem

I have just installed a home network:

D-Link 713-P Router
Wired Network card (comp#1)
D-Link 120 USB Wireless on (Comp#2)

On (Comp#2) I see a wireless signal strength of between 65% to 100 %.
I go to network neighborhood and see (Comp#1) & (Comp#2)
about 30 minutes later the Signel strenght was still between 65% to 100 % but I couldn't access (Comp#2) from (Comp#1).
Anyone know what might be the problem... or at least what to look for?

attached files network.jpg is the actual network and invoke.jpg is the error message

Thanks
Steve

sjm,

Does the wireless hookup work ok during initial use i.e. internet access, file sharing and access, printer server,etc.? I have the same router with 3 wired hookups and a wireless pcmcia laptop card. You might try a firmware upgrade to the router.

I am still waiting for ATT to come here. Waited 1 month for a saturday and the guy said he had family issues and left after being here 5 minutes. So I will be on-line on the 18th. I am having trouble with my external modem, seems it won't connect to ISP at this time.
I will try the up-grade.

Thanks
Steve

RayCom,
One more thing, Printer and file share work well but for some reason I lose connection. Not sure why. It will be working fine for 20 minutes and then no signal... Poof...

No reason that I can see my signal is a pretty strong 80 to 100%

Steve,

If the firmware upgrade doesn't fix your problem, I would call d-link tech support. They are great and it is free.
