My laptop originally had windows 98. I installed a Linksys wpc54gs wireless  
adapter and it worked fine. Then I upgraded the operating system to Windows  
XP, and then did the Linksys wireless adapter routine. It no longer can  
connect to my router...even after I had Linksys tech support on the phone.
When i run "IPCONFIG" it gives this message: "Internal error  
occured...contact microsoft product support....error: cannot query host name"  
Linksys says it is unable to bind tcp/ip.
My wireless card can see networks now, but can't connect to it. Something  
must have happened during the upgrade to the laptop's tcp/ip software...i  
tried gooing to add/remove windows components, then removing networking, then  
adding it, and i still get the same results.
Is there something i can do or install to bring this ability back?
thanks,bill

Uninstall the Linksys and then go to the laptop mftr.'s website for your
specific model machine and download drivers and other laptop software
for XP. After you've installed drivers and any other available software
(like power management, etc.) for XP, try installing the Linksys.
