on my 2nd pc (my first gets on the internet fine), the signal is in the
80's (in the Netgear Smart Wizard), but it won't connect. I think the
reason is that XP's wireless network connection software is getting in
the way. Netgear says to disable XP's wireless connection
configurator, and I unchecked 'Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings'. But maybe thats not enough, its STILL conflicting,
I suspect...
1. XP's icon for wireless network has an 'X' in it - no connection.
2. But Netgear's Smart Wizard software shows I have a signal above 80%
!
I think it would work if XP's wireless network crud wasn't getting in
the way?
Also, I'm using WEP 128-bit, shared, and I've got all netgear
equipment.
Thanks for any advice
