Unable to connect a Win98SE computer to wireless network
I have a wireless netwrok with one wired XP desktop machine, 2 wireless desktops (XP + W2000) and one wireless laptop (XP). All works fine, but when Iadded an old W98 laptop it works fine if wired but not when connected with a D-Link wireless card. I use WEP encryption.
On the laptop the wireless card says it is connected with 100% link quality and a good signal strength. In Network Neighborhood I see no other computers and get the error 'no permanent connection available' if I try and connect to another computer by typing in the name. Also I can't ping the router. On the other 4 machines the new laptop does not show in Network Neighborhood, but all can connect to it if I use the find computer utility. However, once another computer has connected this way it shows up in network neighborhoood on the W98 laptop but I still can't connect from the new laptop to any other machine (error - no permanent connection available). Any ideas what to look at to solve this? I find it particularly surprising I can't ping the router when there is obviously a connection given that other computers can connect to it. |
