I'm stuck so again I turn to you guys.

I have a PC (win XP) and an Acer Laptop (XP) they were networked via a belkin wirelsss router, and all was working fine.

But, me being me, I didn't like the 10 gig of the harddrive I was losing due to Acers partition so I thought no problem I'll format and install XP Pro on it.

So I do that, installed the drivers from the Acer CD and everything shows as installed and working but I can't get my wireless connetion back.

My Desktop is connecting to the net fine (it's wired to the router), I have re set the router, re booted everything in order, but the only way I can can get my laptop on line is to hard wire it to the router.

I have tried reinstalling the wireless card driver etc etc.

The wireless card is listed as "LAN - Express" and can't seem to find an updated driver for it.

Also one odd thing is I can't access my routers internal page, the instructions said use 192.168.2.0 but this has never worked but it did if I changed the 1 to a 0 but now I get an auto search, any help????
