I have a brand new laptop that I put a wireless network
card in (USRobotics 802.11g). I am able to get on the net
to some sites. I want to get all the windows updates for
XP because of all the security issues. I cannot connect to
the microsoft site or the windows update site. I really
really want to be able to get the updates!

btw-the connection through RF is very good 54mbps and
strength is 78%

Any thoughts? I'd really appreciate your help.
