I just installed a wireless (g) network and have 2 laptops running on it. The laptop running WinXP is fine and can access all sites/ftp etc.

The laptop running Win2K cannot access some sites and does not do ftp uploads (downloads work fine). Other sites work fine.

I already tried resetting the router and resetting the ADSL modem.

The only change made on the Win2K machine is installing drivers for the wireless (Belkin) network card. It was connected via a wired router before and worked fine then.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

It's not XP I'm having a problem with, but Win2K...
XP works like a treat.

It might be a firewall like zone alarm, black ice, Norton's or symantecs firewall. Check for that if you find anyone of those temporarily disable it to check to see if that is what is causing your problem. Also go to TCP\IP prop. on the wireless connection. Then select adavanced then go to the options tab highlight tcp filtering select prop. and make sure they all have permit all.

Are you running in Adhoc mode, or do you have a wireless access point? Are you using Internet Connection Sharing off the XP box? If so, check for any firewalling rules or sharing restrictions on your XP box.
