Big problems with the Asus Wifi-b

Got this today, installed it fine.

Now I am trying to get my laptop (Acer Travelmate 803LmiB Centrino) to
connect to the internet via the Wifi-b but it's not working

The laptop can see the connection and is connected to it, but I can't ping
this system (on which the wifi-b is installed) and I can't ping the laptop
from this system - and I can't get online using the laptop either

Both systems are running windows XP pro, and the mobo the wifi-b is
installed on is the P4C800-E

I've got ICS setup, I've run the wizard several times but still no joy

I've tried to connect both with and without a firewall (norton) and I've
disabled the windows XP firewall on the internet connection

Any ideas?

Thanks

I am by no means an expert, but on my system, I can 'see' another
machine, but it cannot connect unless I put the WEP key in.

Did you make sure on the laptop that when you setup the network that you
clicked on (and my memories a little hazy) 'this computer connects
through a gateway' rather than direct connection?

It sounds like you jumped right into using WEP. Try getting the devices to
talk with factory default settings, then change just one thing at a time in
all your devices. When one of your changes breaks the connection, you'll
know which setting causes the problem. One other thing though. I tried
this method using a wireless router, access point, and PCI adapter, all from
Belkin. After making a couple of changes, the connection broke and I
thought I had found which setting was the problem. Actually, due a bug in
the router, it was happier when I re-booted the router after certain
changes. There was no indication that re-booting was called for, but it
worked.

Ok, thanks for your ideas guys, I managed to fix it - I removed all the
software that came with the card and just let XP deal with the card, and it
worked perfectly

Thanks
