Hey everybody.
I have a very large small problem. I had a illegal copy of Win XP Pro on my comp., and I tried putting wireless internet onto it using a USB antenna. It got a signal, and I could ping my radio and AP, even websites, but when I actually tried to go to a web-site, it said the page could not be found. So I thought (And several other internet guru's thought) that it was my version of Win XP. So I ordered a legit copy of XP, to try and see if that would fix it. I installed it today, still the same problem. I don't get it at all. I know its not hardware, because it is just using the USB port. I dont think it would be software, because I completely deleted all the old stuff. I just dont get it! Does anyone have any ideas? I need help bad!!! BTW, the antenna worked on the other comp.'s also(And it works on mine too, I just cant browse.) Thanks for any help.
