Netgear MA101 USB wireless adaptor

[gwendes]

A full driver set and utility for this adaptor can be found here (ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/ma101_v2.4.zip)

The manual is available here (ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/ma101_reference_manual.pdf)

I have installed the software, but the config untility does give me a config tab. Windows XP does pick up the hardware and the drivers are correct. However it does not pick up any wireless networks in the list. Is there something else I can try?

(I have been through the manual)

Go into Control Panel > Network -> Network connections, does it show the network device? If so, can you do a right mouse click and "View available wireless networks"?

Where are you with comparison to the wireless router? Are you sure you should be able to connect to it where you're placed? Have you hidden SSID on the router? If so, you need to make sure you tell your PC what the SSID is... need more info about your setup I'm afraid!

I installed the adaptor, I have a linksys wireless router. I am able to find the router in the Windows network connections box, but when I click on it and tell it to connect, it just sits there trying to connect for a minute or so and never connects. Any ideas?
