A while ago I purchased a pair of USR5614 (PCI slot) and one 5610(PCMCIA). Now, the most recent version of netstumbler does not work with the PCI cards at all. Perhaps as earlier posted the older hardware drivers would work. I will try that. OK, now the real question is this: All machines nice freshly loaded, no problems - the laptop with the 5610 can network with either of the other two, but the 5614s cannot communicate with eachother. I know, no access point, so ad-hoc one at a time. The 5610 is out of commission now anyway since my bathtup overflowed onto the laptop turning it into a $1600 paperweight. So now all I need is the to pci cards to talk to eachother and play nice. All machines are win2k. The laptop used to be winxp...probably makes a difference somehow, but I don't know how. any thoughts? Yes, standard workgroups, IP ranges/DHCP, and login/passwords are all set correctly. ????? ideas ?????
