Re: Wireless Connection for Windows 2000 desktop


Well firstly, thanks for the attempts to solve this guys! Now to the issues
.... I unraveled some interesting "conditions" late last night ...

1. http://72.14.203.104 did not open in IE or Netscape in my desktop. I just
got a webpage not found message. It did go to the google site when I tried it
in my laptop.
2. I had disabled my PC firewall already. The only thing I have in place now
is WEP encryption.
3. FTP, Telnet to a specific domain works from my laptop(in which browser
connections also work) but they do NOT work from my desktop
4. I had disabled all the filtering in my router
5. The EDIMAX wireless card I use in my desktop ... I tried using that in my
laptop and it works perfectly fine ... so nothing wrong with the
driver/hardware of the wireless card.
6. I took the USB wireless card out and connected a long ethernet cable from
my desktop first to the router and then directly to the cable modem. In both
the cases ... I had the network connection icon show up ... but I could not
even do a ping on command prompt (I could atleast ping with the USB wireless
card).

I think #6 is the most vital, tells me that the trouble is somewhere in the
system driver ... if I am not able to get connectivity even with a direct
connection to the cable modem sans any kind of firewall.

Any more suggestions at this point people?
