Dave, thanks for your reply.
The problem is that my computer isn't recognizing my wireless card (either
of them) as wireless. It treats it as a Local Area Connection.
I've actually gotten things to the point where my internal wireless card
(which eliminates the need to use the Orinoco card, so I'm not really
focusing on fixing that) is connected to my home network and is operating as
it should.
Now the issue is with client management. XP won't recognize the card as a
wireless connection so it doesn't give me the option to scan for networks,
build profiles, etc. (i.e., it doesn't make available the "Wireless Networks"
tab in Step Three). So in a week when I'm back at school, switching between
the two (additional) networks I frequent there will be at best complicated.
Anyhow, that's where things stand now. If you can offer up any other ideas,
I'd be most appreciative. Thanks again for taking a whack at this.
