Nope, but I did review the settings on it, and I had the paperwork from
Geeksquad from when they originally set it up, which included the wireless
password. It would "connect" but it would never get an IP address.

Silly question, but did you try resetting the original one back to factory
specs?

This weekend, I spent about 4 hours working at a client's site (side job)
trying to get their desktop to link up to their existing wireless router
(Netgear.) I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell laptop to
talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over  2 hours, I
went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same exact model I
have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success. 

Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless to
connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even going to
spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy a different
router that *will* work and get another Linksys.

Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone who's looking for a new wireless
router. J
