OK this is my log of what I have just done. I have tried various variations on this theme previously but it all come to the same thing in the end. The same error message.
Network Setup actions
Main PC
Start – Control Panel – Network & Internet Connections.
Set a wireless network for a home or small office. (Opens Wireless Network Wizard)
Click ‘Next’ – I check ‘Add new computer to the ‘xyz’ network.
Note. The xyz network is the replaces the ‘abc’ network I tried to set up earlier. Neither worked, but I can’t see how to delete the former network before trying again.
Click ‘Next’ – Check ‘Use USB flash drive. This I do.- Click – ‘Next’.
Save settings on flash drive. – select G drive in my case – Flash Drive Flashes.
Transfer network settings etc. The flash drive is still plugged into the PC –
I am given 3 tasks to do.These I do before checking ‘Next’ at the base of the screen.
First task – I remove the Flash drive from the PC and plug it into a spare Netbook USB slot.
The Network wizard starts on the Netbook. I ignore and plug flash drive back into the PC. – and click, ‘Next’. (
N.B In past attempts I have in fact runt the wizard again at this stage on the netbook but at the point when it asks for the flash drive a second time, it rejects it and Im forced to come out of the loop by clicking the 'unnecessary' option.)I get the final wizard screen up saying that my network is now ready to use but Error Microsoft Windows XP Depending upon the wireless software running on this computer, the wireless network wizard may not work. For details see Microsoft Knowledge Base 871122.
I print the network settings
Have feelings of de’ja’ vu Kick the cat: and click ‘Finish’.
The dongle mentioned earlier is the flash drive referred to above.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank a lot.
