Wireless Modem and card won't talk!!!

Hi,

I have a Siemens SpeedStream 6520 4 port ADSL Wireless Router connected to a PC (Win2KPro). I also have an IBM 380D laptop with a Netgear MA401 16 bit wireless PCMCIA card. I can't get the modem to see the laptop.

I have got the SSID name correct. I have set up the WEP at 128 on both sides and also generated a key and entered the hex key in the laptop. I have got the right channel as well.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Col

as with my previous post to another, check your firewall settings is the Notebook cleared to see the router.

Go back to basics, disable Firewall and No WEP

OK. Have done that. Icon on laptop has turned green and sognal strength is 100%. However, the modem has not go the green light for wireless device connection.

double click the small computer icon on bottom right icon bar and locate any properties boxes or look for any Wireless Networks settings. Make sure Use "Windows to configure my wireless etc" is NOT ticked.

I have found it very worthwhile, when setting up my wireless settings, to restart the comp after amending setting. Try this and report back.

I can't find anything that says"Windows to configure my wireless" or anything like it. Are you talking about the laptop or the PC? Currently the PC is using USB to connect to the adsl router. I use Win2K Pro on both computers if this helps.

Sorry for top-posting - client hates html code.

Anyways, what "modem" are you talking about? If you're using DSL on a desktop with a wireless router, you're not dealing with a "modem" on the laptop; you're dealing with the Netgear card. If you've got the "green" light on the PCMCIA card, then the card and the laptop *are* wireless.

I know of no "modem" that has a "green" light for "wireless" connection. Are you talking about your laptop, your router, or your DSL "modem"?

Hi. I am actually talking about the adsl router (modem). It has lights for USB, Ethernet, Wireless, Power, Internet and DSL. All lights are green except for Wireless.
