Problems with MS Windows98SE and wireless PCMCIA

Hi,

Installation runs fine. The card finds the acesspoint.
TCP/IP protocols are installed. When I try to ping the
access point I get the message "rpc timed out".

Any suggestions

Run Winipcfg - what network address does your PC show for your network
adapter? What's the network address of the access point?

After running winipcfg I obtained no network addressses.
No DHCP server.
Any other suggestions??

Your wireless card may be seeing the router, but it sure isn't seeing the
network it's attached to. The IP address and DNS server are all showing
0.0.0.0 as the addresses? You're sure you're looking at the wireless
adapter and not a PPP or dial-up adapter in WINIPCFG?

Yes, as you said it is obtaining any addresses.
The only solution I found was to specify ip addresses,
gateway addresses and DNS. In addition I removed some
other adapters.
Then it worked!

Glad you got it figured out in the end.
