Wireless ntwrk & XP connectivity Problem

[Bob K.]

Hi:
I have a strange wireless network problem. Just visiting
daughter's and trying to set up our laptop from home to
access their 802.11b wireless network. Have tried several
access cards (USB & PCMCIA). After loading new drvrs, LAN
monitor initially shows a dynamic address received, but
the is no real WWW connectivity. All attempts to reach WWW
fail. If computer is re-booted the dynamic address comes
up strange & invalid, but network shows wireless link is
OK, but still no www connection.
The same cards and network work OK on same computer
running W98 (using it now). Any suggestions? This is
really weird.

Thanks for any help.

Bob K.
