Something in XP seems to be blocking connectivity. After
installing a wireless G pci card in a PC, I get the
message that the wireless network is unavaialable. The
adaptor is working according to the device manager. The
router is sending signal to my laptop right next to the
PC. I have tried two pci slots. No encryption is on. The
firewalls are disabled. Any suggestions?
 
check and see if a bridge was created between the wireless card and
some other adapter. if yes, unbridge it. check and see if the wireless
zero configuration service is running.

when you say the firewalls are disabled, which firewalls do you have?
there may be a service you need to stop.
