Re: [smartBridges] WUSB11 on Smartbridge network

[Brian Winter]

check out reviews on amazon.com - few have a good word for this unit.  XP doesn't feature in the compatibility list (nor 95 or NT), although some have tried and failed - apparently WEP does not work with XP ? wierd !   That would stop traffic passing .   You don't say what os you have on laptop - not XP ?    As with all USB products, (and even without wep) you'll need to get drivers and all the latest MS patch stuff in place first - not too suprised a clean install fails.   ping might be stopped by XP firewall (except local).  When you set static ip, was def gateway set correctly ?   Why not get on the wagon and go for sB ethernet product (at least to get the 100Mb+ patches down first !). Dump USB - far too difficult to get working consistently and too dependant on MS vaguaries.   Looks like the clue is in the product name - WUS.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Good To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2003 8:37 PM Subject: [smartBridges] WUSB11 on Smartbridge network Has anyone had any experience using a Linksys WUSB11 USB radio on SB products? I have one unit that I have been using on my laptop and works great. I have a customer that is lOS and less then � mile to the tower and I can connect to the tower with my laptop and the WUSB11 just fine get good signal and transfer great. I take the same radio and plug it into a customer PC (GATEWAY e-3400) and the computer will associate with the AP but never obtain a IP or if I change to static it will never pass traffic. I can ping the local IP but can not ping the radio I am associated to or anything else. Problem started when plugged into a WIN98se machine. Had the same problem. Upgraded to XP pro still had the same problem, did a clean install if XP still same problem, replaced computer and STILL same problem. I can take this WUSB11 and plug into my laptop and it works just fine, plug-in to customers PC and nothing, go back to my laptop and fine. I am with out answers and hoping someone else can explain. I have WEP and MAC athu in place and IT has to work if my laptop is working with the same radio. I have reset the radio SB outdoor PRO with 180 sector. Anyone have any suggestions?       Thanks in advance, Steve Good
