Wireless access point

[joe]

I have just decided to go wireless and have the following problem:

I have a Belkin WAP (F5D6130), A Linksys Router/Switch (BEFSR41) wired, And a USB Wireless adaptor. Running on XP Home.
All the above parts are known to be in working order. The router works allowing me internet access on my pc etc, The wireless adaptor works allowing my laptop to browse wireless networks in the vicinity, The wireless access point works as i took it into work and could connect to it with all sorts of centrinos etc.
The problem is using the above together, i cannot get my laptop to even see the wireless access point (which is plugged into the router) let alone connect to it. Althogh my laptop will quite happily point me in the direction of about 6 other networks down my road.
DHCP is enabled on the router etc.

Since we know that the Belkin WAP works because you took it to work, I would think that you have a problem with interference.

Can you try to change the channel that your AP uses? Are there any devices that might interfere with the WAP transmissions like mobile phones, etc?

I was at my inlaws this weekend and saw the same thing.

The PC with a Belkin PCMCIA card makes a WEP-enabled connection to the F5D6130, but it never gets an IP address from the BEFSR41.

The same PC can also be hard-wired ethernet direct to the BEFSR41 and gets an IP address just fine. Additionally, the F5D6130 is receiving an IP address (it is configured as a DHCP client).

We've updated both appliances to the latest firmware.

Any other suggestions of what to try would be much appreciated.
