I have a MainStreet II running 9.2.2. When I started researching as to the possibility that I could get it online wirelessly, I was delighted to find out that there was a driver available for Avaya WaveLAN adapters. I had a few WaveLAN Gold adapters laying around!! I found said driver, downloaded and installed it. I was surprised that I actually got it working without any help from the pros in this group. Maybe I am getting pretty good at this stuff. I worked great. I used it several times. Then... the WaveLAN adapter that I was using had been misplaced. After searching high and low, I decided to just grab another adapter and slap it in. Problem. It didn't work. Its icon appears on the desktop. When I double-click it, the TCP/IP dialog comes up showing that it didn't get a DHCP address. I remembered something about AppleTalk needing to be active. I opened the AppleTalk Control Panel applet. It shows connect via Modem. I thought the WaveLAN card was supposed to be listed there. When I choose Ethernet, an error displays (forgot what it says). I try to run the WaveLAN Control Panel applet and another error dialog appears saying that I need to first insert the adapter and double-click its icon and enable AppleTalk. The card is inserted... otherwise it wouldn't show on the Desktop. After clicking OK on that error, another error displays saying that the WaveLAN Setup Control Panel applet can't be used on this machine. I've been around and around with this thing and it's driving me crazy! I tried the other card slot. Same result. I tried another WaveLAN card. Same thing. I removed the preferences file. I yanked out the driver and reinstalled it. Same thing. I might have given up if this had happened the first time I tried installing it. I might have just decided that it wasn't going to work. But now that I know it does indeed work, I would really like to see it work again. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.
