This turned out to be a bad nic card. It was damaged in a storm and would go short distances (like to a router in another location) but not the 100' to the radio.
The card died the rest of the way about 3 weeks later. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron D.

Have a long term customer that can't get internet all of the sudden. Shows no cable plugged into his computer. Had him try a laptop, it worked fine. Next had him take his computer to a repair shop for a new nic card. His computer DID work in town though. Back home, it wouldn't work with the radio. So I went out there to check this out. My laptop would work just fine. His desktop wouldn't. I ended up installing a router and all is working nicely now. His computer will talk to the router, but going right to the radio we show no cable connected. Anyone seen this before? I assume this is being caused by some kind of voltage miss match that the other devices aren't as sensitive to? shrug marlon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
