Hello Axel,

I am using a F5D7010 but I cannot find the pdf you name, only drivers and
flash install guides.
I am using WEP not WPA should that make a difference?
When I try and use WZC I get the message that windows cannot configure this
wireless connection etc., I can't even view the wireless networks.
I tried "Use Windows to configure etc"., in Control Panel and the card just
goes dead.
I then put the password into the "key box" in WZC and it began to acquire an
address, this took what seemed like a few minutes, but it eventually woke
the card up and connected. I then exited the Belkin utility.
I am going to disable the Belkin Utility at startup now and see what
happens.

Clicking on the "Wireless Networks" tab will display the following

: settings" box is checked.

Problem is no such Tab exists in my system on either PC, I would guess
that Belkin removed it.

Frustrating thig is that one PC works well the other is the problematic one,

This morning I tried to send a 8Gig size folder across the network, it
started well
at 54Mbps then slowly died untill it lost the connection,.

Have you been and had a look at ezlan.net?

Axel Hammerschmidt

Not a problem for me. I don't think one can have too much useful
information, you're an MVP that says a lot about your technical knowledge.
I'm simply here to help where I can, and give a little back to the comunity.
I willingly admit I don't have all the answers, and my way is not the only
way or indeed necessarily the best way for all.

Hi

I cannot follow the instructions on the Ezlan page because I cannot disable
the
Belkin Utility.
The Belkin manual says the right click on the Belkin icon on the system
tray, but when I
do that nothing happens??

Also I cannot follow the Belkin set-up procedure because when I right click
on "Wireless network connection" and select "Properties" there is no
Wireless Network Tab.

I tries disabling WZC services and also tried resetting it to Manual, it
just reverts to Automatic when I reboot.

Man, this is so frustrating.

cheers

Daniel

I think you should un-install the whole "package" from Belkin with the
uninstall utility that comes with the Belkin software. Reboot and insert
the PC Card. Windows will find the new hardware and offer to find a
driver. This way you avoid installing the Belkin utility.

What you do then depends on if Windows still has the driver somewhere in
a cache on your HDD. In case it does, follow the procedure until you are
asked accept the driver Windows finds to install. Now you can continue
in two ways, by accepting the diver Windows finds and updating the
driver later on; or not accepting and going back and choose a driver
manually.

You should already have downloaded the latest driver from Belkins site
(be carefull here - Belkin has 5 or 6 different driver versions for
their F5D7010 cards on the site. Look for a sticker on the card to find
the correct version - mine says VER.1314yy - but I'm not sure if that
means ver 1. It's confusing!) and preferably be installing that driver.

Then activate WZC, now hopefully without the Belkin utility being
somewhere on your computer and with the missing tab back on the network
control panel.

Axel,

I tried that a while back, the Belkin CD not only installs the network
monitor utility but also the card driver. Uninstalling the Belkin software
will uninstall both utility and driver. Inserting the card to let windows
sort out the diver results in being asked to insert the Belkin CD and that
just loads the whole thing back in again. Must admit, I never tried looking
for just a driver folder on the CD though.
Daniel,
What happens when you right click on teh Belkin icon? Do you not get the
option to "exit" the utility?
You can also prevent this utility from starting by typing msconfig in the
"Run" dialogue box, select the Startup tab and uncheck the Belkin tick box.
