MN 730 with Linksys B Router

Hi All,

I just installed the PCI Wireless card. I have tried
upgrading to the latest drivers, etc with no luck.

Basically the network status screen constantly shows "No
Signal", even though when I look at the Adapter Settings I
can clearly see my access point with an "Excellent" signal
rating.

I have double checked the channel, ssid, and wep code, all
seem to be fine.

It's like the card isn't communicating with the router
properly!

Any tips?

Also, I'm using Windows 2000, not XP. It seems like the
adapter connects *VERY* briefly once in a while, then
drops the connection again.

What kind of WEP key did you enter into the router (Answer the next
several questions & you will have answered this question truthfully)?

ASCII, HEX or something else?

What was the length required in characters?

Was it a 64-bit key or a 128-bit key that you selected to use?

What types of characters were you allowed to use in your WEP key?

Did you disable the SSID broadcast (this is not a valid form of security
because even encrypted packets have the SSID broadcast in the packet
without even being encrypted)?
