PCI Ethernet and PCI Wireless Card Not Cooperating
Background:
Recently acquired a cable modem and cable internet service. As a result, also acquired three (3) PCI wireless cards and one (1) wireless cable-dsl router (All wireless products are US Robotics.) Problem Encountered: When I install the "wireless" PCI card on the host PC, supporting the ethernet card and the cable modem, my windows xp 'hangs up' on reboot. It seems the ethernet and wireless cards need some additional commands and/or scripts in order to work together. I have no clue on what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Connect the router's WAN port to the cable modem. Connect all computers wirelessly to the router's wireless access point. There is theoretically no ethernet in the mix, and all LAN connections can be disabled. Practically, during setup of the wireless system, one computer should be connected to the router by its ethernet connection while setting up and debugging wireless problems and for initial DSL setup on the router as well. Install this computer's wireless after the DSL is set up OK and the wireless system is running reliably on the other wireless computers. Q |
