I have a home network with 6 machines. 4 are XP, 2 are windows 2000 and are
connected via cables. 2 of the XP machines can connect fine - these have
adaptors that came with configuration software. I have MAC access lists, not
broadcasting the SSID, Open System 64 bit encryption enabled. I've tried it
both with a passphrase and manually entering in the keys. The other 2 XP
machines which have built in wireless can connect to the router but cannot
browse the web. I've tried everything possible I can think of, searched the
web for known issues and worked with Netgear on this, needless to say they
weren't much help. If I turn the WEP off, the systems connect fine, however
I don't want to leave it this way.... Any suggestions?
XP1 - IBM Thinkpad - Netgear WAB501 card - connects perfect
XP2 - Compaq Armada - Netgear MA401 card - connects perfect
XP3 - IBM Thinkpad - Built in Wireless XP managed - can connect but cannot
browse
XP4 - Dell Inspirion - Built in Wireless XP managed - can connect but cannot
browse
Any suggestions? Any help would be very much apreciated as I cannot think of
anything else to try!
