Ok, I think I got it working, and I have no idea which thing I did was
the reason it works, but here's all I did:
- Netgear WGR614v2 firmware updated to newest version (Version 2.05 -
Oct 9 2003)
- WEP-128 (WPA off)
- WinXP Wireless Rollup Package Installed
- Wireless Zero Configuration set to Automatic (on)
- Uninstalled ALL drivers and utilities for my TrueMobile 1300,
restarted, let windows recognize it, and install drivers from the CD
it came with. (But did NOT install the Dell utility.)
Something, or a combination of all of these, fixed my problem. Thanks
for all your help!
