Have you tried flashing the Orinoco firmware to the latest version?

+---------- Thus spoke Bech Emot on Wed, May 22, 2002
>Hello,

>I was wondering if anyone else experienced similar problems with the
>following configuration:
>- Windows XP Professional,
>- Orinoco Gold card,
>- WAP 11 version 2.2,
>- WEP 128-bit.
>
>First of all, the same configuration works flawlessly on Windows 2000
>(another laptop on my network). However when I use my laptop, it tends to
>work some. I can visit a few websites, but it gets stuck with others. When I
>try to access files across network from my home server (W2000), network
>connection suddenly freezes. I cannot access Outlook for my office email -
>Outlook starts, shows list of emails as usually, but hangs whenever I double
>click on any email to view its contents. The only help is a reset for WAP11.
>It obviously cannot be wrong encryption key (the one for Orinoco card
>different from the one in access point), because the 2nd laptop has
>identical configuration - Orinoco Gold, WEP settings, encryption key - and
>it works all of the time. My laptop with XP works for some activities, but
>hangs on the others. My solution is to use network "wire" with integrated
>NIC, but I think I should not be forced to sacrifice security (WEP-128bit is
>better than no security at all) over convenience of wireless.
>
>Any advice? Thank you in advance.

>Best regards,
>Peter
