asus wifi
Anyone here use the wifi slot on their asus board?
I have a wifi-b in the p4c880E-D and a wifi PCI in the 2nd PC. They seem to be set up correctly as the Wireless Network Connection says they are connected and is reporting a good signal strength, however the host PC cannot access the internet (page not found). Also I cannot see or browse the folders of either PC from the other. I suspect there is a file sharing wizard or something I have still to run, even though they are connected via wifi...? -- Rocky www.ghostrecon.net | www.agr-s.com | www.tactical-elite.net __ .. |

I meant to say the CLIENT PC cannot browse the web, the host PC is the one
with the always on BB, and it is connected to the web as normal. -- Rocky www.ghostrecon.net | www.agr-s.com | www.tactical-elite.net __ |

Sounds like similar symptoms to mine, except that now and again I would get an internet connection, which would be fine for an hour or two before slowing to a crawl, lots of packet loss etc etc. Fiddled with it for a few days before getting to the tipping point where you realise life is too short; I ****canned it and replaced with a Netgear PCI 802.11b card, and life has been fine ever since. |

I have always used Linux for this, but on the host machine above, shouldn't there be some kind of internet sharing software being run? I thought the later versions of MS Windows came with some sort of software to do this. -- Frank Hahn |

what flavour of OS you running? Xp has a wizard for internet connections.
Whether or not it covers wifi I don't know. "Rocky" wrote in message ... Anyone here use the wifi slot on their asus board? I have a wifi-b in the p4c880E-D and a wifi PCI in the 2nd PC.

XP Prof. I have ran the Asus installer, and also the XP home networking ICS installer, still no joy. I am giving up and going to get somebody around who has done this before. Grrrrrrrr. -- Rocky www.ghostrecon.net | www.agr-s.com | www.tactical-elite.net __ |

It is possible the the order in which you do things is important and that
you really clean up before you try re-installing. I know certain USB drivers require a manual search and flush to get rid of all drivers and references in the Registry. Lots of luck tell us how it comes out. "Rocky" wrote in message ... "notritenoteri" wrote in message news what flavour of OS you running? Xp has a wizard for internet connections.

I am reluctant to try without them for security reasons as I had my FW down for 2 minutes recently and got infected with two pretty bad virus. It's about the only thing I have not tried though.... -- Rocky www.ghostrecon.net | www.agr-s.com | www.tactical-elite.net __ |

I think you've found your problem.....disconnect your modem, then disable ZA on BOTH pcs and see if you can do simple file sharing....if file sharing then works you know your problem and need to allow ICS and XP Filesharing to bypass the firewall/go straight through it..... |
