My neighbor had an old Dell running W2K and using an Orinoco Silver USB, and it was working perfectly. I upgraded his computer to an ECS K7SEM, XP Pro, 1GHZ Duron, and 256MB of Crucial PC133.
Everything installed from scratch and working perfectly, except for the darn Orinoco. I did a full Windows Update, latest Orinoco firmware and drivers.
The problem is that the computer only randomly establishes a connection to the Orinoco client. Once it does, when you try and open IE, it immediately drops the connection. I swapped it with my Sliver, and still the same damn problem. The Client Manager states that it cannot establish a connection with the device, yet XP shows that my network is available.
I upgraded any SIS drivers I could find, but is there any issue that I am missing? The memory is good, the case/PS is an Antec 250w. Could the USB chipset on the MB be the problem?
I guess I could do another fresh install or maybe install W2K first and see, but I have to get this thing going.
Any suggestions or ideas to try?
