I am not an expert on this, and I may be missing something in your post. The way I am reading your post is that you are trying to hook two computers to the router with wireless adapter cards, right? The way I understand the wireless network, if you have only two computers on the network, one should be hardwired to the router and the other one is connected by a wireless adapter, at least that is how my system works. I have one computer hardwired to my CNet Pro200WL PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter using a Linksys WRT54G and the other two desktops and the laptop all have wireless PCI network adapters. I have also found that using the live chat with Linksys is much more satisfactory than using emails. You can tell them what is happening and they can respond at once. I have used this several times over the last 4 years and has always solved the issue. A transcript of the chat is sent to you as an email when done and I print it out for future reference. Hope this helps. Sue Visit our website regularly for FAQs, articles, how-to's, tech tips and much more http://freepctech.com
