Testing components
Hi,

OK, I've just bought a Belkin USB adapter...and that's telling me in NS that there are no AP's available. Also, I have a PCI card (Belkin 802.11g) that when I try to install to see if it is the router (Sitecom W143) that's gone down, installs grand, gets detected by Windows and then says "the device cannot start".

Tried rolling the system back a few days, downloading new drivers...still won't start. If it would work, and hence ad-hoc between the USB and PCI...then I'd know to go get a new router tomorrow.

So - is there any way to test which one is working if you're in my predicament?!

Working with what ? With NS = Read the documentation, and hope that the vendor's NDIS implementation works under XP, or purchase a supported card.

With Windows = Contact the manufacturers support channel, and ask them for the support they provide on their devices.

I blame the Canadian for that...

the adapter's own utility is showing nothing.

Then contact the manufacturer for support, who will know the product better than any of us will.

Cool, I was just thinking if I could get the card to work, then I could eliminate the router as being a problem...

I'll bring the card and adapter in to a PC shop tomorrow - and test.
