Sooner Al,
Thanks for the suggestions. I read the HP support document. Very informative.
I reset the WEP key on my PPC and the Linksys router. Then I checked to see if SSID
is being broadcast (it is). I have not enabled MAC Address Authentication at all.
I also removed the battery and reinstalled it. Plus, I released and renewed my router...and
also reset the router. Nothing has changed.
It connects just fine to my home network, but I can't access anything.
On HP's support site, I see there is a Wireless LAN Driver Update that addresses roaming
issues. However, it requires ROM Version 1.10.xx. My ROM is v. 1.0. I read on another
newsgroup about problems when upgrading to this ROM version, so I'm leery of trying it
and making the problems worse.
I guess I can live without accessing my home network, but I sure hate to give up that option.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again!
Scott
