Emilie, I know this is a year out from your posting, but I have the same problem
with a desktop 98SE trying to access a wireless Windows XP home computer. So my
question is, what is the domain name, is that the SSID or workgroup name? or is it
the IP address of the XP computer? Thanks for the help.
