Hi all,

Ive just purchased a SB3.
I've managed to connect successfly using the ethernet connection
which enabled me to download the latest firmware.

The ethernet conection was set with static IPs.

I've now tried to use the wireless connection but keep getting a failure to connect to network error message.

This is again using static IP's, I've switched of the firewall.

I have a internal PCI card which has the access point set via the PCTEL SoftAP software.

Anyone got any ideas how to connect?
Has anyone connected using this setup?

Cheers
Pete G

I had to start with a fully open wireless network - broadcast the SSID and no encryption. Once connected I slowly started to lock down the connection with no SSID broadcast and added in WPA-PSK encryption. Any changes I made to the wireless network required to wireless network to be rebooted.
