Ok, I have a Netgear MA401 wireless card in my laptop with windows 2000 server. My router is a Netgear MR314. I have another computer on my network which is a pc with xp. I can not connect to the other computer at all. I can access the internet but any effort to connect to the other computer results in a message saying it could not be found.

I Can't connect to my network

It sounds like an IP issue. Are both PC's on the same network. Make sure they both have different IP addresses where the network is the same but the host part is different. i.e. 130.114.20.5 can connect to 130.114.20.6 where as the subnet and gateway are the same. Are you sitting behind a firewall or router. Are you running a private IP network. There are many things that can prevent this. Your best bet is to make sure you have the IP addresses and router configured correctly.
Hope this helps.
