Here's the gist of my previous post
================ I just bought a Netgear WGR614AU wireless router with two Netgear WG311GE wireless PCI adapters.
So I connected the router to my Motorola SB5100 Surfboard Cable Modem (which has been working faultlessly for 6 months) I was able to get the router connected using an ethernet cable, then I followed the setup to connect the other PC with the WG311ge wireless PCI. After 10 hours I have given up.
I tried the Netgear standard set up at first, in two different PCs, I tried sitting the PC adapter antenna just one foot away from the router antenna, but they just can't see each other.
I tried setting up my SSIDs, checked they were the same, I tried hard coding the MAC addresses. I have made sure all firewall and antivurus software is off. ==============================
Since that post I had a friend come around with a Toshiba notebook with a D-Link card that connected straightaway. No worries at all. So it ain't the Router. I can get a signal using ad-hoc, but no IP.
I've tried WinXP SP2 and plain old WinXP, but it makes no difference. The hardware is a Gigabyte motherboard 8S661FXMP-RZ. The BIOS is Award v6.00pg
I've got the latest drivers, I've evn tried a US Robotics driver that someone recommended, but it wouldn't work for me.
Any more things I can try.?
