I have recently upgaded one of my laptops to XP Pro. I am
trying to use my home wireless network to connect the
laptop to the internet via my home net (DSL). I have a
3Com Airconnect hub. The laptop with XP easily sees the
3Com hub and there is full signal. So, they're
communicating with no problem. However, when I try to
open Internet Explorer, it cannot find the internet
connection. Just to be certain, I by-pass the hub and
connect directly to the ethernet port on the laptop - and
voila, the internet connection is flawless. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Scott
 
Any chance you have encryption running on the 3Com hub but haven't set up
the keys on the wireless NIC on the laptop?
