Hi,
I've just fitted a WUSB54G adapter to access my
home wireless network. which presently consists of a
host desk top and a laptop, all working perfectly.
The Linksys is for a second desk-top
machine.
Originally, the adapter failed to connect, and
continually searched for an IP address. I had
no recourse but to contact Linksys, who basically
told me the problem was with my WPA security
connection, and advised to use WEP. As this is
less secure, and the adapter is supposed to
support WPA, I have no wish to follow their
advice.
Entering the IP address manually in the Internet
Protocol TCP/IP page, I at least am showing a
connection in the View Wireless Networks page,
but with no home network SSID shown. The
connection lasts only for a few seconds, then
disconnection takes place, after which the cycle
repeats. This is continuous and I'm never able
to connect to the internet. It seems I'm
connecting to the network but not out to the
internet.
The security key has been entered properly and is
correct, but I'm getting nowhere fast. Can anyone
help ??
