I realize this is Off Topic, but there's just so many knowledgeable people on this group I figured I'd take my chances. I've tried googling for an answer to my problem, but lots of suggestions but no cures. Details: I have a computer in the basement that I decided to hook up to my wireless router. Got a belkin USB unit and followed the installation instructions. Everything went smoothly. Computer says I have a strong signal with the correct WEP code. But neither Explorer or Firefox can make a connection. A Belkin Tech walked me through the diagnostics, but she could only confirm that the Belkin unit was operating correctly. She advised it's probably in my firewall or antivirus software. I fussed with different settings and finally, in desperation, turned off and deleted both. And I still can't make a connection!!!!!!!! And yet my computer says the wireless connection is loud and clear. One of you 'machinists' want to suggest a solution? (which will hopefully not require a mill or a lathe...) Many thanks.... Chet
