Ii am running windows xp sp2, i have installed a linksys wmp54g, tryin to
connect to a linksys wap54g

they are both on the same network i.e. they have the same ip range
(192.168.0.1 and 100 respectively) same subnet mask.

i see the network in the wireless network connection window but there is no
star over the range thingee... and anytime i connect i get and error sayin
that the network is out of range.

can someone tell me wat's goin on? thanks a lot
