I'm not sure If anyone else has ever had this issue, but I really need some help. I have 512k DSL at home, and have had for some time, however my router was in a different building than where my room was. So my computer has always been in this outside building wired up to the DSL. Recently I decided to move my PC to my room and connect to the DSL via a wireless LAN. So I went out and bought a Belkin Wireless Pre-N router and 3 network cards. When I got the network cards I realised that they were simply laptop PCMCIA cards plugging into PCI bridging cards, which seemed very strange. So I plugged my DSL router into the wireless router and set it to act as an access point. I set up my PC in the other house and connected the wireless card. When I booted up my PC I installed the wireless card successfully, the connection was fine, the speed, the coverage, everything was fine. I connect to my ADSL via dial-up as im sure alot of you do. So I set up the network, with the IP's and everything, and then proceeded to connect to the internet. The first time it connected perfectly and as the connection minimized I tried to load the browser and my computer froze. So naturally I thought, little hiccup, won't happen again. So I rebooted tried it again, except this time it froze at "Verifying username and password." The computer just completely locked up, nothing I could do. So I tried everything I could to no avail. Eventually I went out and bought some no name brand wireless card that was just a PCI card, and it worked perfectly. I thought maybe it was because of my computer. So I wired up and old PC, it worked perfectly with the wireless card. I then tried it on my brothers computer which is also quite new. It did the same thing, just froze. A friend then came over and we tried the same with his computer, same thing, frozen. I have no idea what the problem is, I have tried everything I can think of, and I'm now sitting with three Belkin wireless cards, and no way to get a refund. If someone could please help, or suggest a reason as to why they don't work, it would be greatly appreciated. I would much rather use these new Belkin cards as apposed to the no name brander I bought, but I simply can't. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Guys.
