I have a NetGear WG511 54g card (Updated the drivers for WPA). I cannot get it 
to connect to the Microsoft MN-500 (11b, WEP) and the Netgear Wireless 
Cable/DSL Router 54g(WGR614v4 WPA-PSK) - Sony Laptop

XP Pro SP1 all patches can connect (accroding to the utility built into the OS) 
but cannot surf the net. IPCONFIG shows the IPs as 0.0.0.0


Same thing on my Toshiba laptop same thing. I forget if it can connect to the 
Microsoft one, I think it can... Anyways, the internal Wifi card can connect to 
BOTH routers. The WGR is running the 5.02 June

Forget it nothing wirelessly can connect to anything except the SmartDisplay, 
which goes through the MN-500. Wired works for everything else..

Why is Wifi getting worse and worse to setup? I think the technoligy is going 
down the tubes.

Seems Kim is having a similar problem.

Thank you,
