  Setting Up an 802.11b Home Wireless Network
Subject:   Internet & Access Point

OK, I have a network where there a 3 wireless PC's and a server. The server has an Access Point connected to an ethernet card via cross over cable, (the other option is to connect the access point to a switch and the switch to the server, but that isn't essential).


The other 3 Pc's have wireless cards. (PCI)


All Pc's can see each other fine, and the signal is pretty good, the problem is the Internet.


The Server is using a proxy and email server called "Terrapin Multinet". It can connect to the internet, but the others can't. Does anyone know what the problem is?


I use Multinet in many networks and it works resonably well, if anyone as a good alternative please tell me :)


Also, I added 2 wireless PC's to an existing network, via an acces point and everything worked fine, ie. they could see the ethernet PC's and visa versa and the wireless could access the network.


I'm using D-Link cards and Windows XP as servers.
Win98 as clients.


If you have any ideas please email me here:

      try disabling windows zero configuration service under administrator tools on your winxp systems. then, use the software included with your hardware to configure your wireless net.
