ok--so i pretty much have no idea what i am doing--but according to the WUSB11 installation instructions i should be able to install the driver via the Windows XP New Hardware wizard--and presto!
i am supposed to have wireless connectivity.
not so much.
the wireless icon states that it is connected with a very good signal.
ipconfig/all states:
