    evening one and all.

    1st off i suck at wireless networking. i can;t make heads or tails or it and it in general confused the hell out of me. which is why i'm having this problem. my cousin has the aol all singing all dancing wireless hub jobbie and i've tryed to configure the upstairs pc (old amd duron, works just not very well) to work with a belkin USB wirless ..... err.......thing. the belkin wireless thing find the aol wireless hub but thats about it. how do i configure the pc to connect via the usb stick to get on the internet. if that makes sence.

    her main pc is connectected to the router directly and works fun its just the upstairs pc which she wants wireless won't connect to the internet via the wireless connection. it picks it up fine signal strength is good. so what have i done wrong.

    the duron machine is a windows xp sp1 machine.

    Cheers for any help.

    Can you update it to SP2? Cause Service Pack 2 includes many different updates that help for using wireless.
