Wireless AccessPonit to AccessPoint

[confus-ed]

Mac filtering?

Well maybe .. but you have to turn that on generally since how the hell would your wireless router know what macs are 'allowed', surley he'd know that he'd done that...

I got all confus-ed there for a moment & wondered why the hell we were talking about this ... I see we are now answering this 'supplementary' question ..

I'm haveing a issue with a XP Home computer where wireless packets are never received. Tried two USB wi-fi NICs(Belkin and D-Link) both connect and can send, but never receive. I tried both NICs on other computers and they work fine so it is the computer. XP Home doesn't have SP1 on it ether so I'm hoping that will fix it once installed. If not, I was hoping the Wireless access point to Access Point would work. Internal PCI Wireless is not an option, All PCI slots are filled.

Now of course I'm confus-ed by that ..

If they 'connect' then they must receive ! .. so you'd better go over the symptoms again ..

..I'm having to use the Windows Wireless control because none of the NIC utilities that come with the drivers will even start(double click, nothing happens or loads).

Though is much more 'illuminating' & that says pretty clearly to me that the NIC isn't being seen by the xp pc correctly & that's where the problem is ...

Well, I decided on the network bridge. That did finally work. The SP1a install went well, but did not fix the issue with USB Wireless.
