Hi,
Got a strange problem.
I have a long time running ICS gateway, XP pro, US Robotics 22Mb wireless
AP.
I have a laptop,running XP Home, which has been running through the gatway
for a year and is still working.
I have a recently aquired Ipaq which quite happily pocks up a DHCP
address,via wireless, and can quite happily see shared files and surf the
web.
The problem is a new Dell I have just installed. I have tried 2 different
wireless cards, a 3 Com and a Belkin, and both cant pick up DHCP.If I give
the card a static address I can happily surf the web and see my shared
internet connection but I cant see my shared files or printer.
I disabled, or thought I did, Nitro mode on the Belkin and got a DHCP
address once. Cant actually replicate the trick now
I do run Outpost firewall on the gateway but this had been disabled to test
this.
Any pointers gratefully recieved as I'm getting nowhere fast at the moment
Regards
Jim Florence
