Can't seem to find internet using 3Com Wireless USB Adapter

Hi,

We recently aquired a wireless router and attached all the units (two stationary and one laptop running windows xp and one stationary running windows 98SE) using 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless USB Adapters. All the XP machines got connected more or less painlessly, but the Windows 98SE machine is proving difficult.

It previously used ISDN for internet and it also has a regular network card installed in addition to the ISDN card.
I have installed the USB Adapter drivers, plugged the adapter, windows successfully detected the adapter and the adapter software recognizes the wireless lan access point and claims to be connected to it.

The TCP/IP for the 3com adapter is set correctly (as far as I can tell, dhcp, no dns, etc) running the windows network configuration I never get connected.

I suspect some setting or driver may be the cause as for some reason, opening MyComputer gives me a MessageBox saying unable to connect to the Internet and gives me the options to work offline or retry???

I also may have removed to much of the drivers I didn't think I needed anymore as Norton now complains about being unable to check e-mail due to proxy settings.



Any idea is very welcome.

Nevermind

It turned out that a related problem "Cannot read IP-Configuration" had a step-by-step solution. Removing all network protocols and all winsock related startup registry drivers fixed it
