W2k Wireless Network

I am trying to add a w2k (sp4) laptop to my wireless network with a Belkin
125mbps usb adapter. All software seemed to install OK and when I plug in the
adapter the PC recognises it but when I select the Belkin wireless Utility
nothing happens (eggtimer for 3 secs then nothing). Looking in device manager
the adapter is working properly.

I cannot see anything on the pc relating to wireless networking. Just the
usual network and dialup settings.

Help greatly appreciated as I have been trying this now for a few hours.

Thanks In Advance
J

Hi
It seems that something is wrong with the Utility.
Try Belkin's support, or and, try this utility as well,
http://www.boingo.com/download_windows.html
This utility works as is you do not have to sign with Boingo in order to use
it.

Thanks Jack,

Will try your advice. The utility works with Win XP fine though.

Jack,

My w2k laptop is now working on wireless but I cannot connect to the
internet. Do i need to set something manually. I'm not sure but I think the
LAN connection may be direct to my XP pc.

I cinnected fine to my wireless network with my authentification code but IE
does not connect.

Thanks

Hi
I do not know what the topology of the network is and where the Internet
comes from.
If you have a Wireless Cable/DSL Router and the Laptop can connect to the
Wireless Router IE would use the same connection as well.
