I am having a strange problem. I just purchased a TrueMobile 1150 card and am trying to get it to work. I initially had Win2K loaded on my laptop. I installed the software provided by Dell on the CD I received and I then installed the card. Win2K picked it up correctly and I went into client manager to set the SSID to my wireless home network. I did that and client manager automatically connected but I had no IP address or anything. I couldn't connect to anything at all! I had IP set to Obtain automatically too.

I then tried Knoppix Linux and it recognized the card automatically and when I booted into it, I could connect and surf the net. I had an IP address and everything.

I then decided to try XP Pro so I installed that and it recognized the card during install but the same problem with Win2K is happening. It doesn't see my wireless network and I can't connect to anything.

I've searched this forum all over trying every different driver I could find with no luck. Anyone run into this problem? It has to be a driver issue as Knoppix used Orinoco drivers for the card. I tried them under XP Pro and nothing. Am I using the wrong driver?

I have a Linksys WRT54G at home with it set to B only.

Thanks for the help!
