Wireless PC network card problem

[Pinball]

This weekend I went wireless. Worked fine apart from 1 PC with a Belkin wireless desktop network card. It just won't connect to the US Robotics router/modem!! Anyone with a similar adverse experience who solved the problem..??

Hi there

sorry i cant really help, but i had a belking wireless card for my laptop, and i could never get it going properly

worked fine, then next reboot wouldnt, tried in another laptop, tried another card from the manufacturer, same problem

bought a linksys card, not a single problem

common consensus from the various experts is : Belkin Wireless = shit

Not an adverse problem, and not actually the same setup here (i'm using a Netgear router) but I found that different OS/software-firewall combinations can produce odd results.

It may be worth your while disabling the load-at-startup option in any firewall software to see if that's the problem.  I recall Tiny Personal Firewall being quirky on a Win ME system here.
