1) Connect each to linksys router with a network cable.

Why not use CMD, unless you are on win98 in which case I am sure doskey works.

Hi,

I would remove wireless card and drivers and see if problem goes away. It could be the card, the drivers or one of the updates, hence take out card and see what happens.

Typing the command doskey worked in later versions of DOS and is supposed to work but I have just done a test on this XP machine and it does not work.

It sounds like a hardware problem.
