Hi!
I've been recently given a PCI wireless card for my desktop (LG, LWG5400N,
802.11g) and a PCMCIA wireless card for my laptop (LG, LWG5400P, 802.11g).
Both are new.
I installed the cards and both computers say the devices are working
properly. I updated their drivers to the XP SP2 drivers found on
www.lgnetwork.com and followed the instructions given at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/bowman_02april08.mspx
Those instructions were a tad bit different because they were not written
for SP2, but I managed to follow every step.
Even though the laptop is beside the desktop, they can't find each other.
When I set either of them to be the ad hoc host, the other won't detect it
and I won't get the "Wireless Network Detected" message.
Over the weekend, somehow the computers detected each other and I was able
to transfer files and access the Internet, but it only last about 2 mins.
After that, the icon on the task bar showed that red "X" and said the
wireless connection was off. I wonder if I have hardware problems. Maybe one
of the cards is not working properly?
Do you have any suggestions? Any help would be really appreciated.
