Clueless on wireless

    I just installed a new Linksys Wireless A+G Router (WRT55AG) on my PC and thought all was sorted but hell no - its had me pulling out what little bit of my hair I have left these past few hours :(

    Some websites work fine, but it seems when I want to post info rather than pull it I get issues - for example when I go to post on most forums it just times out (weirdly it works on boards). If I disconnect and connect straight to cable modem all Internet traffic works fine.

    I have called the A network NetworkA and the G network NetworkG and given them uniques channels (7 and 60 respectively).

    I selected a passphrase (same for each so I don't forget it) but whats that for exactly - is it the key to enter in the apps that wish to get traffic through the router or is it just used to generate the real key that should be entered on each device?

    I'm trying to setup a Windows Media Center Extender on it (my PC has Media Center on it running on XP Pro) and the device picks up both networks with excellent signals but when I enter the passphrase it says Not Valid right away. When I enter the TX key generated by the passphrase it at least accepts the format but then says its not the right passphrase so I can't connect.

    Any ideas on this and how to sort out the traffic issues above would be much, much appreciated.

    I just updated the WEP (should have indicated I'm using this standard as the Media Center Extender will only accept this) to 128 bit and I used a passphrase to create a WEP key and entered this (damn long) key onto the Extender and it now says:

    "Media Center Extender connected to wireless network 'NetworkA' , but has not received a DHCP response."

    Close but no cigar - any ideas?
