I use a Linksys WAP/switch/router at home with a D-Link card and can NOT access my work VPN via my wireless connection on my laptop, but when I hardwire to the Linksys switch router, I have no problems. I have "played" with my 802.11b settings, butwould like to accomplish this in a more "directed" manner, rather than burning those precious few hours to actually enjoy being home:-) Any ideas out there?

PS Running Windows 2K Pro, with an HP laptop, using Cisco VPN Client 3.5. Thanks...

My best guess would be that you are not in the receiving cell of the antenna. Or that your WEP is not right.

I need more info. Are you using any kind of WEP? If so is it configured right?

Are there users at work on the WLAN? IF so how many?

If you can answer i might be more of a help to you. Regards

I've tried both using and not using WEP. There is only two nodes on this WLAN (my notebook and another household desktop) Configuration is very simple, so I don't know what the problem could be. Still no solutions.
