I have installed a Belkin 54G WiFi network card
into a Toshiba Laptop running XP.
This card is identical (make/model; software) to one
that I had previously on a laptop that was
recently stolen.
With the prior card, I could access several network
points, including public library and my favorite
cyber cafes. With the current laptop, I can
access the network at the library but NOT the
cyber cafes. I can see the networks, but
cannot make a connection.
Belkin had me uninstall; reinstall. Then they
directed me to a patch at PC Hell (SP2
Connectivity Fix). Neither of these things corrected
the problem. The only other issue I could
possibly imagine might be interfering is that this
laptop was originally configured to run a VPN.
But being I'm not a techie, the directory protocols
and IP configurations are beyond me.
Belkin has washed their hands since the card works
(i.e. at least from some locations). They say
you need to go back to Microsoft to correct the
problem. Any ideas how to fix?
