With those settings... everything _should_ be grabbed via BOOTP or DHCP


Thank you, Glenn. With these settings, the wifi card did a lot of
hopeful blinking. - Anyway, so far, no success. The reason, however,
may be elsewhere. I tried to run a ping.exe utility that gives a
message about bootp failure.
When I try to connect to the network in Linux, there is still another step between installing the wifi device and dhcp. There, I need to run an utility iwconfig and enter the essid of the local network. Is there possibly some analogy for this in DOS?
This doesn't answer your question but when I'm having issues, I temporarily disable encryption on my router to make I can get connected. Then I turn on encryption.
