Wireless internet for me?
I decided to put this in here instead of anywhere else to avoid all the SUPER DOOPER smart computer guru's that couldn't find their ass from a hole in the wall trying to give me advice.
Thanx! Feel free to call me(813-404-6596) till 12am if you think you can help or just post up any ideas for me to try. oh yea and XP is not going on the laptop anytime soon.
I just bought a wireless card(a compatible 802.11b card) for my laptop and I am trying to get it set up on my existing network. I have my RR going to my base station then it is hard wired to my PC then i have a wireless connection to the office PC, both using XP.
I have my laptop on windows 2000. .How do i get it to connect? I tried using the original CD that came with the base station etc but it wouldn't work. Is there a way i can take the IP from my "main" PC and plug it into the laptop and make it work? I am getting PISSED.

Make sure you set the IP Address and DNS servers to DHCP (automatic)
Is the new computer getting an IP address? what is it?
If not, make sure the router is giving out enough ip addresses, you need to go into the router setup to be sure.
Or you can give it a static IP address, like 192.168.1.99 (or any number below 99, but not 1 because its taken by the router)
But then you will have to put in the DNS servers too, I think they are like 65.32.2.130 and 65.32.2.136
Make sure your gateway is set to 192.168.1.1
Hope that helps

All that I just put up there probably wont help since it's wireless though, I just realized that...
Still go to a cmd window and do a ipconfig to see what IP address you have, post that up..

And the solution is found. A bug in Linksys install causes the whole
problem.
For now, apparently the solution is to hack the registry. See link
below for more details.

WMP11 issue solved?
I had what seems to be the exact same problem.
W2k, linksys wmp11, installed, reinstalled many
times. The tray icon reads "WMP11 not installed",
as does the configuration utility, and the card
doesn't connect to the network.
rlmasse's post (leave the linksys cd in when booting)
gave me the hint I needed. I also got the following
event viewer event:
Event ID: 7000
The PCANDIS5 Protocol Driver service failed to start
due to the following error: The system cannot find the
path specified.
So I rooted around in the registry, and found the
following key/value:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCANDIS5\
ImagePath: \??\D:\AutoRun\PCANDIS5.SYS
So it looks like it's trying to load the driver
off the cd. (The cd trick didn't work for me,
because I had changed my cd drive-letter to E:.)
I located the file PCANDIS5.SYS in WINNT\system32,
and therefore changed the registry value to
ImagePath: \??\C:\WINNT\System32\PCANDIS5.SYS
When I did this, the linksys card immediately
connected to the network -- no rebooting, and
as far as I can tell, everything is fine now.
