Need some help with wireless network

Here's the setup I'm trying to make work, I've got A wired network using A Linksys BEFSR41 router and a Linksys 5 port hub, all the wired stuff works fine but can't seem to get the wireless part of my network to work. I've got a WAP11 access point and a WPC11 PC card, the pc card seems to be working, can see the signal strenth etc. but can't see any of the other computers on my network or access the Internet on my Laptop through my cable modem. I've got the access point hooked up to the #2 RJ45 port on my router since I'm using the uplink for the 5 port hub. Have WEP enabled and both pass phrases are the same, have disabled Zone Alarm (no diff) Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks for any help you can give.
 
Have you tried it without the WEP key enabled. Are you getting an IP? Can you ping if you are? More info needed than what is provided.
 
Until you get it working disable WEP so that is taken out of the loop of troubleshooting. You need to see if you have any connectivity. Assign an IP manuall in the same IP scheme as the other PC's and start pingin. Do you have a link light from the port on your router to the AP. Try plugging the AP into a port on the hub as well. Basically eliminate everything you can. Try a different patch cable etc... and ping after every change.
 
ok tried A port in the HUB, can't see Network, am able to ping WAP11 from both wire networked computer and laptop wich is using wireles PC Card.
 
I assume that is with a static IP you manually assigned.. Is that right or are you using DHCP. If static, try going back to DHCP. If DHCP, do you have internet connectivity? What are you using when you say this computer cant see that one or whatever. Forget about network neighborhood. If you can ping the other computers, you have LAN connectivity.
 
well not sure what I did but now everything is working?? May of been the connection to the router, still using same cables, at first could only see other computers on network, then went back to server assigned IP and DHCP assigned IP and now internet works also 🙂 Thanks for the help....wish I knew what did the trick though.
