Oh, sorry about that, I just thought any wireless configuration was the same. The modem-router is a 2Wire which on the back it says "Home Portal 1000SW" (Provided by ISP) The home portal is connected to one computer through an Ethernet card, and to another (wireless) to a SMC receiver which is the (USB) SMC2662W, and to a laptop with a (wireless) PCMCIA card "2Wire WiFi", apparently the only model there is from 2Wire. Everything works all right in WinXP. If you need any other info, I'll gladly supply it. Teilhard Knight The Extraterrestrial
