Hi SuziQ,
You must've gotten really lucky! The techs that I talked to just had me aimlessly going around in circles, trying things that I had already tried and it seemed like if it wasn't on the paper in front of them, they didn't have a clue as to what to do next. I'm glad you got yours working! |

I had the exact same problem, and the Linksys support people walked me through the entire process of making it work... actually they have an online chat help line and they can help you out... Just what role does the Linksys play in setting the 'host' name of the computer? That is what the 'host' field in a 'winipcfg/ipconfig' report is showing. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

Thanks again Norm, my laptop has a history of old adapters, there was one that I got when it was new, but I didn't like the way the RJ45 cable plugged in so I replaced it, then I boght a docking station that had a built in Ethernet port, so there's a bunch of stuff left over from previous days! I will remove all this old stuff to try & simplify things, but I doubt if it's going to help, my wireless adapter still doesn't show up in "winipcfg"! Could it be that because all of this old stuff is there, "winipcfg" is picking the wrong info.? I doubt it. The 'winipcfg' utility will only display what it finds. I wonder if removing all traces of the WPC54G, drivers and hardware, then reinstalling them would help? If you have already done that, then you can disregard that bit of advice. The issue is that you are not getting a LAN IP address on that adapter, and 'winipcfg' does not seem to think that the adapter exists. I see that you have posted a new thread specifically addressing the issue; good. I think, at this point, you should just let this thread die and see if anybody has any ideas in the new thread; I am out of ideas, myself. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

Thanks again Norman, yes, I've unistalled/reinstalled the adapter several
times but nothing changes, same result each time! I've made a couple of more posts to different Newsgroups, and to a Dell forum, so maybe someone will come up with something, I'm sure that there's someone out there that has had the same problem! Thanks again for your suggestions! |
