The original configuration was laptop with built-in wireless, desktop with
Linksys wireless USB adapter and Linksys wireless broadband router (acting as
an access control point only). The wireless network was set up with a unique
SSID (not "Linksys"!) and WEP key, so my understanding was that security was
okay. Initially, I ran this for file and printer sharing only until I was
due to get broadband.
However, when broadband arrived a couple of months ago, it came with a USB
modem, so I couldn't plug the Linksys wireless broadband router into it. As
a temporary measure, I connected the broadband modem to the laptop, so the
Linksys router continued to act as an access point only. The bridge on the
laptop was configured for wireless and local area connection so that I could
connect directly to the Linksys box to configure/reconfigure when necessary.
This set up worked until the laptop hard disk crashed.
I've made the changes to both machines -- NodeType was not present on either
but DhcpNodeType has been set to zero and the machines rebooted. Ipconfig
now shows "Node Type: Unknown" on both machines.
I still have the problem.
Regards,
Clive.
PS In the spirit of trying to keep things simple, I had intended changing
the USB broadband modem/Linksys router combination for an integrated wireless
router/modem in the New Year (broadband modems with Ethernet ports seem
almost as expensive and integrated units in the UK). I'd value your thoughts.
