[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Fw: Cheap Wireless NIC - Report.
Access Points are as cheap as $130 over in the US - and are from 200 quid over here. I have a friend going over in a few weeks - so...... :-) I have my PCCard one plugged in now , under XP - all is well. What stage breaks ? G.

Thanks Gareth, I've tried both the sitecom xp driver and zcom XI750 driver, neither of the utils work under XP....AH well, maybe I should leave it alone while it's working :-) (apart from WEP) I really want an access point now though....I'm tempted by the Linksys WAP/router/switch (w11s4-or something like that!)

I'm using WinRoute on my server - so can't use XP yet. And Im not having much joy with IP routing - it all seems to break when using the wireless. The ISDN TA is on the same box, but when going in via the WLAN, NAT fails. ICMP works tho - spooky ! I also cant get to any of the others servers on my local network. The WLAN is on it's own subnet, so I know ive set that up correctly. Laptop runs XP but you still need to run the sitecom/zcom util program. Not used WEP yet. I did use the zcom software, yes. No problems with the USB - are you using the XI750 drivers, not Xi700 ? G.

Got myself a USB and PCMCIA adaptor yesterday :-) working very well :-D Put the USB adaptor on a Client PC on my ICS network...used XP's bridging to bridge it to my LAN card...now I can surf 'net, share drives etc from my lappy :-) COOL! Just a pity the batteries dont last more than about an hour in my lappy! By the way £65 for USB adaptor and £55 for PCMCIA comes to £120! Was I ripped off, or can't you add up ;-) The only thing I'm having trouble with is the WEP keys...everytime i try to set up with encryption the connection dies :-( Also did you manage to get the z-com utility software working for the USB device? won't run on mine, I read in the documetation that you should use windows own wireless setup util on XP.

Well, I bought 2 x PC Cards, and 1 x PCI Adaptor (for the server) from PC World. This morning I took back 1 x pc card and the pci adaptor - the pci adaptor was causing all sorts of problems, including locking up the system, etc. I've now swapped for a USB one and works fine (and saved a tenner) - this was on a Win2K server and Win XP server. Win XP refused to even acknowledge anything was in the pci adaptor. I have these running in peer-peer mode, and , next to each other, getting 450k/sec - not bad at all. So the pc card and usb together was £110 ! G.
