I recently upgraded my old 802.11b Intel wireless gateway router to a new
Linksys WRT 54GS router and wireless adapters. My P4 desktop, which for
years worked well with the Intel wireless gateway adapter and router, does
not work. In fact, I have two XP computers in the same room with the same
wireless adapter; one works (an older P3 that previously was not wireless),
one doesn't. The P4 wireless PCI card is functioning and accesses the
network, but will not access the internet. It appears that the computer
cannot access the modem's IP address as the IP address and subnet mask keep
coming up zeros. I am certain there is a problem in the XP wireless
configuration, possibly triggered by the previous wireless system; since the
other computer in the same room with the same OS and PCI card works fine.
The Linksys tech support was no help. Please help before I have to reinstall
my whole OS!!
