Without seeing this for myself AG, I am out of option now. I will tell you
this, after setting up wireless networks for a while now, I have formed an
opinion about Netgear routers -- I do not like them. I have had similar
problems with them in the past, including not allowing MS updates to come
in -- and this was from a factory router out of the box. Since then I have
always used Linksys. If you have the resources, I would give them a shot.
Sorry I could not solve the issue for you. I would love to see what happens
if you change the router. Please keep me posted on this.

OK. I will try to talk my boss into getting a Linksys.
But I kind of doubt it because we just got whole bunch of Netgear stuff this
month.

Can you please tell me how to install "File and Printer" sharing - install
which -
Client or Protocol or Service? I could not use the XP CD disc for install?

Thank you again.
