H2O Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 If you lay out [explain] your network for us we might be able to help better. What you shold try is, turn off all encryption [WEP/WPA] or SSID transmit that's on the network and test the connection. Make sure that all hardware on the network are talking to each other without security features turned on. Once you have a reliable setting, then turn on individual security feature one at a time until you figure out which one is the culprit or where you went wrong the first time around. Hope this helps.
