When I was 100% Linksys, I had no problems. However, when I switched my LinkSys wireless cable modem/router for a 2Wire DSL wireless modem/router, with the same LinkSys 54g wireless adapters, nothing worked with the LinkSys software. I had to go to WZC on three of my computers, but the Sony refuses to connect at all (connects to router, but no Internet) and the fix for the other computers was to go to WZC. But with no WZC on the Sony, I guess I need to find some other chore for that one that doesn't require the wireless connection. Dick On 11-Sep-2006, RAH <w6***@k7yca.org> wrote:

That said some wireless adapters don't hold a solid connection, I abandoned D-Link. A Chinese branded one, ZyDAS based drivers, rock solid, and with a reflector exceptional range. RAH wrote:

LinkSys software that came with the 54g wireless adapters, but the 2Wire router simply would not work with that software. Someone on this group advised me to use WZC. That worked perfectly, except for the laptop running Windows Me. WZC doesn't seem to be available for Windows Me. It is important to note that the system ran perfectly for over a year on all computers, including the laptop, when I was using a LinkSys WCG200 Cable Gateway. However, when I put a 2Wire DSL wireless router in place of the LinkSys WCG200, nothing I tried would let ANY of the computers access the Internet. I could see that there was a wireless connection with the router, but I could not get the WEP to work on anything until I switched to WZC. i'm OK with the way it is. I have 3 desktops and 2 laptops running on the network right now. The old laptop with Windows Me won't be used on the network anymore.
