This is not clear: you say "wireless ISP" yet the modem is connected to
an ethernet NIC? You then recieve the wireless to the modem, ethernet
to your computer? Is there a router involved, or does the modem also
have switched ethernet ports? Can you access the modem GUI (say
http://192.168.100.1, typical for modems)?
This is a long shot, but do you have a firewall in the mix? If so,
disable it. If ZoneAlarm, remove it entirely from add/remove programs.
If using the Windows firewall, disable it. See if that helps. Open the
TCP/IP properties of the connection, General tab, advanced properties,
Options tab, TCP/IP filtering, check the box Enable filtering, and make
sure that Permit All is set for all ports and protocols. Leave the
filtering Enabled for a test.
What kind of authentication does the ISP require for the service? Does
each computer need a special network name? Does the workgroup or domain
need to be specified? Was it set up for the other computer? If so,
shut down the modem and problem computer for a few minutes, reboot the
modem and then boot the problem computer after the modem has booted
completely. Does that help?
Lastly, check into http://www.broadbandreports.com and see if there is a
forum for your ISP, or post to one of the general wireless ISP forums.
BTW, Google for winsockxpfix.exe. Try that in addition to lspfix.exe.
