Plenty of signal but no Internet
-----Original Message----- I have an ADSL modem feeding a wireless router. I have 2 computers in the same room as the wireless router. Computer A has an internal D-Link wireless receiver and this works perfectly. Computer B has a Linksys USB wireless receiver. With this, I can see plenty of signal from the router, but cannot get to the internet. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Steven . I'm having the same problem with the same hw configuration. Hopefully someone has a solution. John |

Plenty of signal but no Internet
It gets more interesting.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, when I got the 'DSN Error' message on Computer B and I clicked 'detect network settings', that solved the immediate problem and I had internet access - but VERY slow. After a day of experimenting, here's what I found. When I configure the ADSL (Zoom X4) modem to feed the Linksys router to in turn feed wirelessly the 2 machines, the machine with the internal D-Link card works fine, but the machine with the Linksys USB adapter is painfully slow and regularly fails to open web pages or share files. When I wire the modem to the machine with the internal D-Link card and put that card and the Linksys adapter in the other machine both to ad-hoc mode, the network performs very well. This is not my desired configuration for other reasons, although it does free up the Linksys router to be returned to the store. Any thoughts on why I see the extreme slowness on the first configuration would be much appreciated.
