[MLB-WIRELESS] Ricoh PCI adapter problems in Win2K - HELP

[Michael McKinnon]

Brad,

Have you double checked that the SSID (Wireless Network Name) is configured
exactly the same as the other machines?  Even one character wrong and it
won't link up...

Sorry about the confusion, here is the setup.

PC #1: Laptop w/ Wireless network card
PC #2: Desktop w/ Wireless network card in PCI cradle

PC #1 can see the wireless network card in PC #2 (using
Netstumbler/Enterasys LinkTest).
PC #2 can NOT see the wireless network card in PC #1 (using
Netstumbler/Entrasys LinkTest).

PC #2 CAN detect the PCI card, the wireless card and CAN get the MAC
address/card diagnostics reports ok - it just can't see any other wireless
cards.

I've had the same hardware(card/pci adapter) working on other machines under
WinXP/Win98. I've also got a friend with the same hardware that got it
working under Win2K. I am however unable to get this working under Win2K.

Hope that clears it up a bit - if not let me know :-)

-Brad

Are you talking about the other computers attached to the wired network
interface?  ie do you have the wireless card and a standard NIC in your
machine?

Or are you saying you have other machines with wireless interfaces you cant
see?

Your email is a bit confusing sorry.

-Matt.
