I have two wired PCs accessing the Internet fine through the router to a
Westell DSL modem.
I have an IBM thinkpad laptop with win98SE. I can connect to the NetGear
MR814v2 (wireless/ethernet) router, and I can share it with the two
wired machines OK . First I tried a Linksys USB radio, and it told me
that it can see the router but not the Internet. Then I tried an Avaya
Wireless "gold" 802.11b PCMCIA card and got exactly the same result.
That pretty much suggested that I either have the setting wrong in both
radios, or there is something in the router that isn't right.
NetGear.com FAQ and "knowledge base" were unhelpful. I went in on the
router setup and allowed the wireless access to both cards, but it
didn't change anything. I called Netgear but it seemed that their
computer support system was down, and I should call back later...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
