I seem to be having a problem with my home network. I have bought the NETGEAR 54Mbps Wireless router (WGR614) , and the Netgear PCI card (WG311 v2). I installed the router base to my first computer with ease, but the second omputers wireless PCI card is not working.
System specs:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
512MB DDR-333
Windows XP SP2
HP Computer (Bought DEC26,04)
-----
Now, i installed the card easily, and followed the instructions carefully, after startup, windows XP launches a message that states:

Disable Windows XP configuration Manager - To fully use your WG311 v2 adapter using the NETGEAR Smart Wireless settings Utility, you need to deselect Windows XP Wireless network Configuration utility. To choose NETGEAR... Click Yes.

When i click yes, windows XP Shuts down (Goes black like a power failure), and my computer reboots displaying this message:
Microsoft Windows
The system has recovered from a Serious error.
>Send error report >Don't Send

Thios isnt good, so when that message came up again i pushed NO, same thing happened. If i leave the message in the background, i can connect to the Wireless network, and everything.
Need help, NETGEAR is to busy to provide Support due to Christmas.

Problem Solved... (Went out and bought a new USB adapter).

puterno,

I must be missing something. I am having this very problem, but I don't understand what a USB adaptor has to do with this at all. Can you please explain?

Yes and it will help all of us that have never used wireless ........
