The Problem I am experiencing is from a Laptop (Dell Latitude Cpi A400XT PII 400 MHz) Running Windows XP Professional SP1 I have a BT Voyager 1020 Laptop Adapter plugged into the PCMIA Port, and confiqured (From Software Install CD) with the following options set: 1.Security 64-bit WEP using Set Keys, the security HEX code as given by the Main Router (BT Voyager Wireless 2.Network 1250) 3.SSID is set (Same as Main Router) 4.Operation Mode Infastructure 5.Channel 6 (Same as Main Router) My Networks Connections reports wireless connection unavailable and the status is always scanning, and never connects. I have disabled windows to confiqure my networks settings, and have also tried it without any security settings. The PC I am trying to connect to is a HP Pavilion t461 P4 3000 MHz running windows XP Home with the BT Voyager Wireless Network 1250. I have connected to the Laptop using the USB Connection this works fine, I cannot try the RG45 Connection as there is no RG45 input on the Laptop. Any help would be appreciated, as I have tried every combination possible, but it just sits there Scanning ! My only other thought is could there be any interference from other electricall sources, I have turned everything off for a Radius of 10 Miles (yes it is getting to me)

You may want to try and set your WEP to 128bit. If your bit encryption is not matched. The devices will ignore each other.

You are not the only one having wireless problems, see these links: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/ 0,1282,63705,00.html?tw= wn_tophead_1 http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/ mystery-wifi-connection-problems-in- windows-xp-015696.php Good Luck

Thanks for your Reply, unfortunately no go, tried 64Bit and 128Bit Encryption. The articles make interesting reading, except they are losing there connections, I can't even get one to lose !

Not too sure I understand all you have said but let's see if this is a correct summary. You have a desk top connected to a BT Voyager via a USB port. The laptop works if you plug the Voyager into the laptop USB so what you really want is peer to peer from your laptop to your desktop so you can take advantage of the ICS. Correct so far? My first thought, because I am in the UK is that unless you told BT you wanted to network more than one machine the Voyager is only going to accept ONE machine & it will not permit networking, unless you pay for the privilege, (BT remember!) If the voyager WILL allow ICS then you need a wireless card for your Desk top & set up peer to peer, allocating a TCP/IP addy. in the same range as the desktop. I think that's about enough to get on with! Cheers.

Thanks for your Response, sorry for the delay in replying, away on business. Right this is my setup 1 Desktop connected to the BT Voyager with an RG45 Ethernet cable. And the BT Voyager connected to my Broadband line......All works fine Now here is the problem 1 Laptop to connect to the BT Voyager via a Wireless connection, this just continually scans and can't connect BUT if I connect the Laptop to The BT Voyager using an USB Cable it is Fine. Hopefully this explains the architecture Tried to follow your reasoning, but got a bit lost with some of the suggestions as the BT Voyager allows for numerous connections RG45, USB, Wireless and connection to Broadband. Thank You
