[WriteLog] wireless networking wl

[Bob Crossland]

Al,

I had a very similar situation going on with my set up, and once I
upgraded to 10.54 (I didn't go all the way to the latest version, 10.57)
the network came right up.  Absolutely no problems.

Good luck.

Bob, N3FR

Help, many frustrating hours trying to get WL to network.

Setup, Dell Laptop windows XP, emachines desktop windows XP, wireless
Netgear router, WL version 10.0

	I use tcp/ip and determine the IP address through IP config and
assign the appropriate address to each computer as it's name as well as
the connect to computer.  The firewall is turned off on each of the
computers.  I have Norton antivirus running.

I have net dd dde running and it's associated software.

	I follow the setup guides to establish a master copy on the
destop, save, register to accept network, and then save as to create a
working copy of the master.  I then fire up the laptop and start WL and
browse to the desktop to pick up the master copy, and save as the
working copy, then register to accept, the link.

	When I try to link to the network with either computer the
cursor freezes, and then the network status window opens and says link
lost to (IP adress).  It does not say link never established is does day
was lost (when I felt a connection was never made).  I  have tried a
number of different combinations to register and link to network and
nothing seems to get the computers networked to share a common log.

	I feel something is blocking the connection and can not
determine what.  What should be off, and what should be on?

	Do I need to upgrade to to a higher version of WL?

	Would this work if I used ethernet cross over cables?  Then
would the wireless network have to be turned off?
