Can't get DNS addresses rightI have installed a Netgear PCI wireless card. It picks up my home network
fine but for some reason it insists on not setting it's DNS addresses correctly. I have checked with ipconfig and tried resetting etc but it stubbornly refuses. Any ideas? Andrew Bowie abo***@internode.on.net www.users.on.net/abowie Zboing Mouflon wrote:

Did you change the SSID of your router to something recognizable or leave it at the default? Malke Problem solved. I got a different brand card. Worked perfectly straight
away. It still wouldn't work after a reformat and clean XP Pro install. Apparently DCHP sometimes struggles with WEP (not WPA) and since I have 7 machines already on my network I wasn't going to change all of them to WPA just to fix one. The Netgear card is on EBay if anyone wants a paperweight.
