[*]Your adapter needs to be in infrastructure mode. It also needs to use either long or short preamble to match the access point. The 614+ has extensions to the 802.11b standard, 22 Mbps and 4x mode, so you would want to disabled it since they are not part of the 802.11g standard.

[*]If you have WEP enabled make sure to type it into the g adapter

[*]Turn off mac filtering

[*]Try using the Windows XP wifi utility
