hi all i really need some help setting these up

bought a 3com wireless router and trying to set up a wireless network

it works like this:

3com wireless router connected to Cable modem

Router connected with ethernet port to computer A

computer B has a Linksys wireless USB adapter.

Everything works well with computer A (the computer that is connected to the ethernet port of the router) but computer B can't connect to the router with wireless USB adapter. They're on the same channel and has the same SSID but it still won't work. I don't know why... any help would be appreciated

What does your client utility say on the wireless computer? In other words are you associated to the Access Point/Router with the wireless client.

i really dont know what else to do... can someone give me some advice?

Make sure you have updated drivers and firmware. You think your client is communicating with the AP? How so? Can you ping the router?
