I am having problems with Windows XP and wireless networking.. I can't get anything to work... and I have tried all that I can try.

Does anyone have some good hints? Everything I have says.. this is all plug and play. But its not happening. I can go to any hotspot in town, link up and have live internet. I can also get into the needed folders that I need. But when I come home, I can get it to connect, but I sure don't get internet and there is no chance of getting at files.

What I need / want is a good guide to get it up and running. Even if its something that helps me to remove everything and start over.

Sincerely,

Jay

If you can log on at other hotspots and not your house, sounds like your wireless internet is firewalled. Since you know that your 'puter is working correctly, it's gotta be a firewall issue. We have XP and a network here at work (only one computer is wireless) and had no problems, but to make it more secure we had our IT tech (a guy we hire from time to time) password it - an he had to configure each computer on the network. It didn't take long, but I couldn't figure it out.

Oh, and today, my network server power supply died. It's always something!

This probably didn't help you out, but at least you know you aren't alone!
