I have a Belkin Wirless Network. I have a wirelss adaptor, a router and a notebook card. Everything is from Belkin. It worked at one point then it just stopped. If someone could tell me the basic things to look for to solve the problem and some things about networking to help me. I have Windows XP Professional on my computer that the router is connected to, and XP home edition on the other desktop and on my labtop. I am just trying to get on the internet from anywhere in the house and play LAN games with out having to physically connecting the labtop to the router. I went to the network wizard and I have the same group name for the network and I have them all set up going throught the hub option.

Are you using belkin software for your wireless settings or xp's? Do you have service pack 2 installed (or did you recently upgrade to it for that matter)? Can your laptop see the wireless connection, the SSID name of your wireless connection? Right click on your wireless in your desktop to view available connections. Did you have the network locked down with 64 or 128 encryption?
