Ok, there is probably something really dumb that I am forgetting here but so far I have:-

Cable modem going to an ethernet/usb swap thing (no ethernet card) and into my pc. A Netgear wireless router comming out. My hifi (downstairs) is based on a hard drive which is run by a pda has a wireless connection, and that works fine. I bought a wierless pci card for my daughter`s pc and I just cannot seem to get it to work. Apart from a software issue which seems to be going round in circles of "new hardware detected" etc. Anyway I managed to get the card up and running, found the network, good signal strength, but just wouldn`t connect. I`ve removed the card for the moment as it was driving me insane.

My pc is running xp home and my daughter`s is running 98se.

Any ideas please, please, pretty please.
