Hi Jack
Thanks
I had seen this link from a post you gave to an earlier query -- but this
time I followed it rigourously. With WPA and firewalls disabled my PC could
"See" the network, BUT
When I tried to connect the connection failed even though signal strength
was excellent (router is only 4" / 10 cm from PC -- also in Wireless
properties teh box "Use Widnows to configure......." keeps getting unchecked.
Connection still failing when box is checked.
When I enabled the firewall I could not even "see" the network -- this has
remained even after I disabled the firewall again -- so part of problem is
with firewall.
BUT why is connection failing?? when it works with other PC??
THanks for any help you can give
