Come to think of it, I also run windows XP on the above 2 laptops. Windows XP shows the same problem. IPX works fine on the wired LAN, and does not work via wireless. Therefore I wonder, is this a hardware problem? Could this be a broadcom driver problem? The wireless cards work fine for IP traffic Where in the following stacks is the problem? -Atomic Bomberman -Wine -Linux kernel -Broadcom linux Driver -Broadcom Wireless card -Atomic Bomberman -Windows kernel -Broadcom windows driver -Broadcom wireless card Best regards, Cedric
