Hi folks I am new here.

I have an Asus 500g router which I have been trying to set up as a LAN initially. After trying the 138g card I have abondoned it because of inadequate reception, even tho I increased the strength of the Tx on the 500g. The 138g was only 1 room away.

I bought a couple of dongles which are working well and connect on the radio network every time with a good signal strength (minimum 60%). My difficluty is not now with the radio link, but with the Windows 2K professional LAN. Computer A can connect with B, but B will not connect with A, even tho it sees A on the network. I get - B is not accessible. Network path not found. I have tried manually assigning IP addresses and doing it automatically. In fact tried almostverything. Occasionally the 2 computers will talk to each other, but after the next boot, I am likely to get the problem again. I wonder if there might be a conflict between the settings on the 500g and those on the hardware of the clients. It isn't anything obvious like channel no. because I have checked that.

Any hints gratefully received.

Answered my own pproblem, but it might be useful for others to know.

As indicated the problem was not with the radio link, but in the windows 2k software. I had assumed that when windows was installed, so was all the stuff necessary to operate the LAN. Wrong. When I installed all the bits necessary under 'printers and sharing' it all worked OK.
