| 526785 | 2007-02-21 19:52:00 | Well, I would either check Sygate's logs. See what they say, or like I said exit Sygate and see if it works then, (you should be able to quit it like any other firewall), or get Comodo. If I had Sygate, I would try and figure out what's meant to be there, but I dont use it. |

I tried the cheap wired LAN cards before, didn't work for me. All my wired or wireless networking has been in auto IP. If you go into the status software that may wake up the connection sometimes. |

| 526788 | 2007-02-21 22:31:00 | Ok .. router without ADSL function. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 526789 | 2007-02-21 22:32:00 | Or a wireless access point with inbuilt switch. | trig42 (11325) | ||
| 526790 | 2007-02-22 00:10:00 | I presume you have a wireless router installed for the dongle to 'talk' to. Correct? Have you ensured the encription key (or lack of) is the same for both the wireless router and the laptop on which the dongle sits? If you havent already done so, it might pay to check your wireless router encription (or lack of) setup and make sure it is mirrored to your laptop. |

| 526791 | 2007-02-22 00:16:00 | Hello, James is on dialup not broadband . So a router has nothing to do with it wireless or other . You DON'T need a router (or most probably cant use one, on dialup) . For wireless to work on a network or on the net . I would say its either a firewall setting (if he's still using Sygate, or the main PC needs an AP) . |

| 526792 | 2007-02-22 00:53:00 | Hi Speedy . I have somehow managed to disable SPF on both machines, but this blinking problem is still there . One more point, when the wireless features are switched on on both computers, the home computer (running on XP Home) instantly recognises and connects to the laptop without asking me permission or password . However, I still can't ping to the laptop on home computer . I suspect this is a case of connection established but no data will transfer . :?: Cheers and thanks :) |

| 526793 | 2007-02-22 00:58:00 | Go back to simple things, James. You ought to have a monitor programme installed with the DSE adaptor. Call it up and make it do a Site Scan. That will show that both wireless units are working ... one transmitting and the other one seeing it. That's at the wireless level, not the TCP/IP level. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 526794 | 2007-02-22 01:05:00 | Hi Graham. Yes, indeed there is a site scan utility comes bundled with the driver. On the home computer, it managed to detect the "wireless connection", but does not indicate if one is transmitting or not etc. Cheers :) |
