One dsktp is connected by NIC to the cable modem, the others connect with wireless cards. I've tried Network Magic on all four with improvement, but not all will communicate with all.

When I go into ... 9 10/25/2008 8:22:47 PM Is there a trick to setting up a wireless router behind a router? I have a wireless router given to me by my provider. Its trash, but I have to use it. The router works fine, but the wireless is garbage. I've got it working but the reliability of the communications is horrible. If I set it up unsecured or WEP, it seems to work well, but as we know that's not secure, so setting it up WPA (and it lacks WPA2) is were I start getting issues. It wo... 7 10/24/2008 9:03:54 AM GPO Wireless Settings Disappearing Hello All I am having a strange and random problem with our wireless enabled machines.
