Well, I don't know, Jason. I was fooling around with it last night and even
though it was showing Wireless 1 inactive and Wireless 2 active, everything
seems to work okay. I was surprised, but I was able to do printing from the
laptop thru the main computer to which the printer is connected. Also was
able to access and manipulate files that were in the Shared Docs folders on
the main computer with the laptop.
I've also set the WEP encription to 128 bit and the two computers are still
talking to each other. I think I'm just going to leave well enough alone.
I still have to set the firewall up in the D-Link router though. That's
today's project.
Thanks for replying.
