Configuration:
1. Broadband wall socket wired to
2. D-Link ADSL modem wired to
3. Netgear FWG114P wireless router/firewall wirelessly linked to
4a. Windows XP Professional using mini-PCI card, and
4b. Windows ME using Netgear WG511 wireless adapter card, and
4c. Apple PowerBook
Problem:
On the XP machine, Internet Explorer (and Netscape too) won't use the
connection, even though XP says that it is connected to "Wireless
Network Connection" at a speed of 2mbps with hundreds of packets sent
and received.
Have tried every combination in IE > Tools > Internet Options >
Connections > and it's clear that IE thinks there is no connection. It
always tries dial-up, if that option is turned on.
The "Windows XP Help and Support Center" app says "This troubleshooter
has detected that your computer cannot ping your default gateway. This
indicates that you are not connected to the Internet".
Apple is happily communicating over the broadband.
Apple see the ME machine and all its files.
ME machine sees the Apple.
Will be grateful for any advice. Thanks.
