Hi All,
Said I would install wireless network for a friends dad - and ofcourse nothing goes right!! :(
I have connected the desktop comp to the router and its works fine (so no probs with the Wireless router settings etc).

I then had to install the 3COM 3CRWE154G72 WIFI Card into the laptop (Running Windows XP). Installation was fine it seemed - the only thing of note was windows stating the drivers I was using (off the supplied disc) are not tested with XP.
In the programme for the card, it finds the Home connection - I click and connect to it etc. The network connection in Windows shows an active normal connection etc.

However when I click on Internet Explorer - No Internet?? It just hangs and then gives up (Though on 3 occasions so far it has connected to the internet absolutely fine, but after restarting the laptop = the same problem occurs)
Also it seems the whole system just hangs whenever I try and do anything (i.e look at internet settings in I.E)

Any Ideas? Like I said I really need help ... talk about a headache.

Check,
1) does the other pc go on internet ok?
2) is the internet on on the first pc when you can't get on the second?
3) is explorer set on auto?
4) your login should login to tcp modem not dsl on aol
Give us a bit more info to go on if above doesn't help.
Cheers
