Access Point connects to internet on labtop Mac, but not desktop windows!
I recently bought a wireless-g access point to connect to my router to have wireless internet. Right away my labtop mac picked up the access point's wireless internet. It works fine in using it now to write this. But when I went to set it up with my desktop windows XP it connected and setup with the access point. But it goes back and forth between being connected and not connected. Along with that when it is connected to the access point it says my adapter(linksys wireless-g adapter) is connented but there is no internet connected to my router/accesspoint. but there is internet connected!because my labtop is working fine with the wireless access point!! I have no clue what to do. I already called the company for linksys, but I dont know!
There are several issues you need to check:
1. First are you using same standards on wireless router and card.
Your wireless router has 802.11 g, you need to have same standard on your wireless card.
2. Have you check security? Security needs to match on wireless router and card.
