Have been trying for days to get a home wireless network setup.
Have BT Broadband (Zyxel 623r-t1 modem/router), and want to add Linksys WRK54G router and Linksys PCMCIA 802.11G notebook card.
I have managed the following:
Bridged the Zyxel router
Connected the WRK54G router to the modem, and set up a wired network to the laptop.
DHCP works fine, internet access etc. all work fine when the wired connection to the WRK54G is used.
However, I cannot get the wireless link from the laptop to the WRK54G to work. It appears that DHCP is not working across the wireless link. The laptop can see the network and a couple of neighbours' networks, but cannot connect. I tried disabling the security, tried various channels, removed MAC filter etc.
There was setup software with the notebook adapter which i know can conflict with the Windows software, but try as I might, neither seems to work.
The only other thing I can do is completely remove everything and start from scratch again. Is there a way to prevent Windows from taking over the setup and allowing the supplied software to manage everything and vice-versa?
I am thinking that there may be interference from DECT phones or the MMDS Ntl service in the area. Is there any way to confirm this, or how would it manifest itself?
