> > I have just set up old wired PC and new wireless notebook with Linksys WRT 54G and have excellent signal strength with no disconnections. Old PC runs XP SP 2. But after installing XP SP2 on the new notebook, file and printer sharing will no longer work. Do you think I will just have to wait for a fix for this to SP2 or are some of my settings wrong? (I know at least printer sharing worked before I installed SP2.) I use WPA encryption, allow only the new notebook access to the network through MAC number, and have router and notebook set to "G only" if those things make any difference. Thanks for any assistance!
I forgot to say that the message I get when I try to turn on file and
printer sharing by "install"ing microsoft file and printer sharing and
"add"ing it as a service through the "LAN" on Control Panel Network Options
is this: "Windows was unable to find any drivers for this device". I have
no idea what that means--I would appreciate any advice. When I do the
network installation wizard, it always tells me that there is a network cable
disconnected--however my wireless and wired internet continue to work fine.
I have downloaded and unzipped the new XP driver for my 10/100 ethernet card.
This is a dumb question: do I also need to somehow "install" the new
driver--it doesn't automatically give me an "install" window. Or should I
check to make sure the ethernet card is seated well in the old computer? Or
is it a programming issue? Please help.
