XP and Airport Base Station

Orinoco (Lucent) Silver PCMA card piggyback on a PCI Card
Airport device??
..


-----Original Message-----
Greetings,

I'm trying to get a stable connection to the internet
with XP Home, it
works, but only for a day or so. . I did this
successfully with 98SE and
never had any wireless problems.

I have a d-link cable modem hooked up to an Airport Base
Station (Apple
Graphite). My Apple ibook is running the airport
software and has an
airport card installed.

My PC has an Orinoco (Lucent) Silver PCMA card piggyback
on a PCI Card.
WEP is not turned on. When I try to set it on the Apple
ibook, XP
doesn't pick up a signal.

On XP in the Wireless Connections Properties window (the
wireless network
tab) "Use windows to configure" is checked.

"Available Networking" Box shows nothing when it doesn't
work and I have
to go to Network Connections/Network setup wizard/ and
reset my
connection, then reboot.

"Preferred Networking" always shows the "Airport"
(network name)

In the advanced button I have "Any available network"
checked and
"Automatically connect to non preferred network" checked.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Sorry, should it be "PCMIA"? PCIMA? It's a card that you can plug into a
notebook, only this card plugs into a PCI card and then the PCI card is
put into a PCI slot.

Lucent is a company that made the original Apple Airport Card (and always
has made compatible windows wireless PCMIA cards)

Silver is a reference to an early model card the doesn't have as rigorous
encryption as the newer models. Lucent's network divison has changed
names a couple of times and is now referred to as "Orinoco"

Airport Base Station is a wireless access point device made by Apple (I
also have an iBook that controls it)

So much for the history lesson. Please scroll down to help.

I'm looking for people that use dual platform Windows/MacOS to help me
out here.

Thanks,
Mark

Do you have WEP enabled? If so how did you do it on the mac side?
