Hi,
I have a new PC with WinXP SP2 and a netgear wireless card which I can't
get to connect to my existing wireless network.
My existing network has one other PC and two Netgear MP3 players attached
and is working fine.
The new PC had a generic card but when this didn't work I replaced it with a
netgear one.
I can detect my network but cannot connect to it either with XP or with the
netgear configuration software.
Things I have tried:-
Replacing the Network Card
The computer is in the same room as the router and signal strength is 90 +
The network is set up without encryption and I have turned of MAC address
checking
I have disabled the XP firewall
Dowloaded latest drivers and utility from Netgear
None of these things have made any difference.
Can anybody offer any other suggestions or point to some software that
could help diagnose the problem ? JUst getting a can't connect message is not
a lot of help
Thanks,
Stephen
