I switched the USB port for the Dell wireless thingy on a friend's
XP Home PC and now she cannot connect to the in-house Verizon cable
modem/wireless access point.
Why?
She can connect to a neighbor's unsecured network!
It asks for the network key which we entered and then we get
"looking for network address" and "invalid IP address" and while
there are three bars of signal strength, we cannot connect.
Something obvious that I overlooked??
That's another bug a boo about USB that I don't care for. If a driver
was installed for a specific USB device & port which it usually does
then when you switch ports you need to reconfigure the app to the new
port or reinstall.
obtw good luck with your Dell wireless thingy as well
