Have a strange problem. I have 4 wireless machines at my home. 2 Vista and
2 XP(SP3). When I look at available Wireless networks the SSID shows up on
3 machines. One XP machine will not show my network whatever I do. Weird
thing is I can manually put all the info on the machine and it will work
fine, and connect even after rebooting. Any ideas on this one ?

Hi
Does it show other networks, or it does not work at all?
If it is Not working at all may be this can Help,

Curious if the adapter Ad hoc Channel/Mode settings could cause this? If ad
hoc setting is same channel and mode as SSID.

Good question. AD-Hoc is not checked.

OK, I figured it out. The old D-LINK will not work with SP3, but a later
one will..
