I have just installed XP Pro on a new hd and am trying to make it work as well as the Win 98SE hd in the same computer as regards connecting to the Internet. I have dialup access and I am next door to a wifi hot spot (a coffee house). Under 98SE my Linksys WUB11 USB external antenna gets up to 42% of signal which provides good Internet access as well as SMPT incoming and outgoing. The Linksys WUSB11 software for Win 98 provides a splash screen with a refresh button to check signal strength. However, under XP Pro, there is no Linksys splash screen with signal strength and refresh. Opening the Linksys icon in the tool bar shows simply a list of hotspots detected. I cant (yet) make a connection to the coffee house signal; it seems that under XP the Linksys antenna connects by default to the strongest signal which is an encrypted commercial wifi hotspot and you get their signup Web page. My questions: is there better hardware/software than the Linksys WUSB11 external antenna that you might recommend and is there any online documentation on how to better implement wifi access under XP Pro? Thanks in advance for your help. Neil Ross PCBUILD maintains hundreds of useful files for download visit our download web page at: http://freepctech.com/downloads.shtml
