OK OK thanks, I?ve got the basics in TCP/IP even it looks not so*lol*
It was a stupid mistake on my side.
Now it works. Thanks to you.
Now a simple question:
I think the connection is a bit slower then I tasted with a real Access
Point,
is there a good and reliable way to taste the speed?
The connection interrupts some times, too. So that Win2K announces
"Networkcabel disconnected"
is that a known issue or only a temporary problem???

Greets to all, especially Margit and Jens Maurer.
