Wired interface seems fine into the router, LAN and internet.
(Other computers on the LAN are fine).

Wireless interface:
Is connected.
A few feet from AP / good signal / quality.
In a remote location. *Very* unlikely eavedropped.

Wireless interface can sometimes get to the internet / sometimes not.
Wireless interface cannot ping the gateway / router 192.168.1.1 at all.
Response is "Request timed out"
Can ping 127.0.0.1
Can ping 192.168.1.196 the IP of the computer
Wireless interface *can* be pinged just fine from other computers on the LAN
via the router.

I have deleted and reinstalled the wireless interface a number of times.
I have deleted and reininstalled its TCP/IP protocol.

It seems this started when I reinstalled the wireless interface. I
downloaded the latest driver / software for the WPC11 v3 from Linksys and
installed it.

I have run the Networking Wizard just in case.

The only difference I see between the wireless interface and
the wired shows
Primary WINS Server (blank)
the wireless shows
Primary WINS Server 201.204.36.10
I'm trying to not use WINS so the last entry puzzles me. Is it a clue?

Any suggestions?

Fred,

Please provide ipconfig information for the problematic computer, and for one
other computer (that can ping the problematic computer successfully).
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name and version) with each ipconfig listing.

Please provide static route tables for the problematic computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "route print c:\route.txt" into the command window -
Open c:\route.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Cheers,
Chuck
