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 ?

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
size=2>I
really want an access point now though...I'm tempted by the Linksys
WAP/router/switch (w11s4-or something like that!) Neil ----- Original Message ----- From:

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
?

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 !
