Hello,

I recently bought the above wireless package to connect a PC (main computer, Win ME) and a laptop (Win XP) to the internet. However, I am having the following problem: the main PC connects fine via wired connection but the laptop (which has a built-in wireless receiver) does not. When I first established connection via the PC, the laptop could see and connect to the network fine. However, I then used the instructions on the manual that came with the package (DIR-301 Wireless G router, pages 15-17) to configure the router. I started the Setup Wizard, created a new password, selected Dynamic connection, and clicked Clone PC's MAC address. Now the laptop does NOT EVEN SEE the network.

I tried RESETTING, but to no avail. The wireless receiver on the laptop works fine -- it sees all other wireless networks in the vicinity, so the problem does not lie with the laptop. How can I get the laptop to see the network and use it to connect to the Internet?

I'd be very grateful for any advice you might be able to offer.
