I am having problems with my wireless network using WEP on XP laptops.
I have a SMC router, a laptop using ME, a laptop using XP Pro, and a laptop using XP Home.
When I first set up the network, but did not turn on WEP, all three laptops connected just fine. But when I turned on WEP, I started having problems with the XP laptops.
My ME laptop connects and stays connected. My XP laptops will connect, but after a few minutes the connection is dropped. I have to manually reconnect.
I have even tried using the same PCMCIA receiver card I have for the ME laptop in the XP laptops. The XP laptops still drop the connection.
So I think my network is sound. THe problem seems to be XP and WEP.
DOes anyone have thoughts on the matter?
Thanks.
