Linksys wireless connection issues...?
I installed a Linksys wireless router, hard wired to an HP running XP. I installed a Linksys wireless g card in a Dell running 2000. I cannot get the card to read the access point. My SSID doesn't show up when I perform a site survey. The card shows that the adapter is active, and I can pick up other SSIDs, but not mine. My question; is this more likely an issue with the braodcast, or is 2000 not working well with the card? I'm tempted to install the router on the Dell and use it hard wired and connect the HP running XP with the wireless card. Would this be a better solution, or should 2000 work fine with the g card? Thanks.

I have a setup similar to yours, except I'm running a wireless card on Vista OS. Sounds to me like your problem is with the router configuration! If all else fails.........contact Linksys Tech? I'm sure they would be happy to help.

Sometimes your router will be set to not prodcast your ssid. You should still be able to use it, you just have to tell your wireless card what SSID to connect to. Just go to your wireless connection settings and put in the SSID info. Make sure your encryption keys are correct, and that should be it.

go into your router and make sure your router isn't set to not broadcast SSID. and yes it could be that your using windows 2000, but i don't see why since the drivers are working.
