Sorry there's some confusion here...the PCMCIA card software works fine, it's the utility software for the USB device I can't get working under XP. It's does say on the sitecom web to use XP's config screens NOT the sitecom util. It would just be nice to work with the same GUI at both ends.

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.
