Hi James, The wireless card comes with a software to display and configure the available networks, one of the tabs of this software shows how the wireless card is working; it contain a graph which show the usage of the wireless connection and next to it there are some cell showing the number of packets sent and received. While the number of packets received moves according to the Ping sent by the server (the iMac I am trying to connect to) the number of packets sent remain to 0, sometime 1 or 2. When the wi-fi starts to work properly, the number of packets sent moves similarly to the number of packets received.
The server is running on OX Tiger while the client runs on Win98SE, the ping are sent by the network utility of the server to the client. The routing table should be fine, I will try to double check it once I get back home (I am at work now). Thank you very much for your assistance and if this give you some other tips about what the problem is please do not hesitate to let me know.
