I have just come back from a trip to a buddie's company. They guy makes those flavoured vodka shots...doing well.
So I took the WEP key off the BT router and setup the USB dongle and attempted to make the connection. The dongle connected..or so it claimed. The signal bars on its software showed connection status as goog. But, it could not obtain a DHCP lease.
Looking at the router I could not see the connection to the dongle. I could not see its MAC address as a client. MAC filtering is off. A reboot of the router did nothing.
I scratched my head and could not figure out what was going wrong. This stuff usually "just works". Client is now using cat5 to the router.
Any ideas what might be the issue? These dongles worked when my client was next door to me...all be it with a different BT router.
