Wirelessly connecting to WinNT network

[Gabina]

My friend is having trouble connecting wirelessly to my
network with his Windows 2000 laptop. I am new to
wireless networking and I only connect my Clie (PDA) that
way. At work, it's DHCP enabled, but here at home, I had
to staticly set my IP for it to work. But his won't
connect either way.

My wireless router is 192.168.0.1 (obviously, a private
network). I've set up a static address for my friend of
192.168.0.10. All the TCP/IP settings appear to be
correct.

I use an SSID and WEP here at home, but we've set those in
his laptop and still he can't get through. His wireless
software insists that it's connected to the access point,
but he can't even ping anything beyond his own address and
the loopback. The router does see him as connected, on
its status page.

My network is a secure Win NT 4.0 network, to which all my
computers (except my Clie) must authenticate (though they
do it by ethernet). I'm thinking his would have to
authenticate, too. So I've set him up a user account and
everything, and I've added his computer through the Server
Manager on NT Server.

Oh, he has a Linksys Dualband Wireless A-G Network
adaptor, and I have DLink DI514 Air Wireless 2.4 GHz
Router (also includes ethernet ports for wired routing).

What are we missing? Please e-mail me privately if you
can help.

Thanks.

Can you PING the server?

Can you PING the server?

I can, from any of my computers, except the Clie as I have
no way for it to ping. I have a web browser, an e-mail
client, and AIM. No pinger anywhere in those, that I know
of.

As for him, no, he can't ping the server, the router, or
any other computers on the network.
