Default WAP from hell?

I've got the Linksys WAP and the laptop NIC, but they won't talk. Same channel, essid, etc., the ACT light on the WAP is blinking as well as the TX/RX light on the NIC. The link light is red.

Where could I be wrong?

Default Maybe you have the secure communication setup...

Make sure you are using the same encrypt keys on both setups... I would reccomend no security until you get it working and then make that change.

Security is set to Disable. Should I get a red or green link light on the NIC?

Default On the Linksys you should get a red./amber light

for connectivity and then a green intermittent light for activity. I am looking at the one in the laptop on my client's desk and that is what I am seeing.

I had some trouble setting it up... there are setting for that card not only in the software they provide but also in the properties of the card in the device manager. Check both places to make sure it is setup correctly.

Default Encryption types the same? This was my problem last week.

Click 128 bit, put in a word you'll remember and do that on the WAP and WPC11 then BAM!

Default What OS - winXP tries to own everything and caused me grief

till I got it to let go of security

End result is ssid, wap key and channel set only with linksys software, none of the MS dialogs. And that did it...

Default ME. The access point seems to be fine, the laptop just won't connect.

What lights should be on on the NIC? I get a red link light and the RX/TX flickers green.
