Hello,

I recently bought a Belkin 8011.b wireless usb adapter, and I am
having much difficulty in getting this installed on a windows xp
machine. I have in fact tried 3 other windows xp machines with the
same problem.

The adapter will apparently install (although by doing an "ipconfig
/all", it says that the media is disconnect. However, it will detect
the presence of my Netgear wireless router. The problem is that it
will just sit there trying to connect to it but never able to. The
router has no WEP or mac filtering of any sort, but it still will not
connect.

Has anyone else had trouble using this adapter in windows XP? I would
be curious to hear how people have solved any problems they have had.

Thanks,

Steve

Not sure if this will answer anything for you but we have recently
bought same USB adapter. We are using Funk Odyssey Client for LEAP
authentication. When I installed the adapter on an XP machine the
Odyssey client didn't see it as a wireless adapter but would select it
as a wired adapter so guess there is some problem with the Belkin
driver. Works fine but I think it is the Odyssey client that sorted
the problem not the Belkin one. No probs with Win2k but still not
working on Win98.
