I also have a wired connection to the network on the laptop and cannot ping the address assigned to the wireless card unless the wired connection is connected, why would this be? Also, of course, as you can see above, I need to get WEP going, but not sure how to specify the WEP key in ASCII or determine the HEX needed from the ASCII key, can someone suggest how this is done? And I'd like to get it to use DHCP, how would I do this? -- Robert
