Orinoco RG1000 configuration in Windows XP

I have been looking for days in several forum but cannot find a valid
answer to our problem. Maybe somebody can help us.
We teach handicaped persons and for that purpose install a small network
with a RG1000 and several portable PC in their facilities.
Everything runs fine as long as we use Windows 98 .

But now we need to migrate some PC to Windows XP. So I installed a network
at home with a RG1000 connected to my LAN. The RG1000 is configured as a
gateway (no DHCP and no DAT). The LAN is connected to a DLINK router with a
wireless Access Point. The "student" systems access the network via the
RG1000 and my wife PC uses the DLINK Access Point. Everything runs fine as
long as we use windows 98 on the "student" systems.

The problem is with the "new" Windows XP system. I have installed an ORINOCO
SILVER CARD in Windows XP with no specific driver as recommanded in several
forum. The card is recognize and can access the DLINK wireless access point.
But I cannot configure the card to access the RG1000. So I installed the
Client Manager SW. When I try to Add/Edit a connexion, the standard pc-card
configuration window of XP popup, not the Orinoco one.

I suppose that this is a driver problem but cannot find the solution. I
tried several links recommanded in several messages, but all links to
Orinoco seem to be dead.

Does anybody have an idea.
Thank you in advance,
Tom

XP has the ludicrously named "Wireless Zero" crap as part of the
virus-propagation-ware. Disable it!

That may enable you to then access the Silver's Client Manager SW. This
is just a quess, as I don't use the virus-ware from m$......
