|  VPN connect through WAP has problems
I am runnin WXPRO, have a cable modem connected to a DI-704 router. When my Toshiba Satellite is wired to the router and I access the VPN at my office (Microsoft VPN) everything works fine. When I have my USR5410 adapter installed and use my USR5450 WAP (connected to the router) to connect to the VPN I can connect ok but I have two big problems - Outlook keeps losing connection with the Exchange server AND for some reason I can't access any of the drives on my network. Again - this is all fine when I am "wired" to the router. I tried changing the MTU on the wireless adapter to 1400 (which is what Microsoft recommends) and still no luck. Some co-workers also have wireless networks at home but none of them have this problem. I am the only one using Office 2003 (I know that should no make a difference). The others are not using USR or Dlink products. I would REALLY appreciate help. I thought this was supposed to be easy. |

Falls Church, VA | Do you have the best (not necessarilly the latest) firmware for the WAP? Do you have the latest drivers for your adapter? |

change your card's MTU to 1200 and try updating the card driver to the latest. |

| I am ready to return my USR products and start over. I have a D-Link 704 router and an SB4100 cable modem. My needs are very simple. All I want to do is access the internet and be able to VPN in to my office and use Outlook and my network drives. I have a Toshiba Satellite and I am running XPRO. Please help. |

|  I replaced the D-Link 704 with a Linksys Wireless-G with SpeedBooster and bought a Linksys notebook adapter. Problem solved. Better throughput and no more VPN problems. I did have to call the Linksys Tech support. They were very helpful and I LOVE the 24/7 availability of tech support. Case closed. |
