Hello,
I have set everything up from scratch, yet again and ,yet again, nothing is right.
The client (Vista) computer finds the network and connects (incidentally, despite being secured, ANY 5 or 13 character key is apparently accepted !) and tells me I have limited connectivity.
Neither computer can detect the other on the network.
The client computer has an IP address 169.254.250.243, not the expected 192.168.0.X.
I have tried disabling both firewalls, been through just about every possible permutation of settings and now, a week later, am just about at the end of my tether.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong ?
