| 248618 | 2004-07-01 11:47:00 | >So where do u find this "authentication" thing?? In WinXP, go to the Start menu, and select Connect to - Show all connections . Right click on your Wireless Network Connection and select Properties . There should be three tabs on the Properties display . Select Wireless Networks . If you see your Wireless Network's name (or ssid) under Preferred networks, select it and click the Properties button below it . Your WLAN properties display has two tabs - select Authentication . Near the top, uncheck Enable IEEE . 802 . 1x authentication for this network . Now I don't know whether to do this on both of your computers . As I said in my earlier post, I have left the "gateway" computer (the one that owns the WAP and internet router) checked, and unchecked it on the other computers . I will be interested to see whether this works for you as it does for me, but I offer no guarantees about the security of your WLAN to passers by looking for available networks! John |

| 248620 | 2004-07-01 22:36:00 | I have subscribed for about three years Murray, and read the article before doing anything. The main help that article provided was to make me try again after having given up for some months, but it didn't provide the solution. The article introduced me to the Wireless Zero Configuration Service, but ultimately that was no use at all. It only dealt with the symptoms not the cause. Sure, I could get the thing to connect again more quickly, but I had learnt other tricks to do that anyway, and it didn't stop the problem. I found the solution myself by going to the Linksys website, then following their lead to the Microsoft site, and then finding a parallel way of doing what those web pages suggested. John |
