One other slight issue - my Acer Netbook (running XP) can connect ok to my wireless access point if and only if I am using WEP as my encryption. I would really like to use WPA2 with AES, but it doesn't seem to be supported on the system. My other, regular laptops can connect using WPA2 with no problems.
Any ideas?
