Have you considered uninstalling the Linksys client completely and
using only WZC to configure your wireless?

What type of security are you using? WPA2? WPA?

That was a consideration but I am not certain of how to uninstall the Linksys
client. I feel the problem lies here as it has only been an issue since the
Linksys client set up the new secure connection. Can I find and disable this
anywhere? I'm not sure what it will be called or where to look even. Can you
give me any directions please. The security in wep 64 bit. Thanks

Another weird thing, when I type 192.168.1.1 admin into my browser, the page
displayed is incomplete in that all of the options on the left hand side and
most of the text is missing.

Hi
If the Wireless does not work when WZC is Off and the Linksys utility is
installed, then you have a problem that is Not related to WZC.
According to your description it might be a Router issue. Try to Hard Reset
the Router, and make sure that you have the latest firmware installed.
AS for the Wireless Client this might help,

Hi. Thanks, I did a hard reset on the router and this took my connection back
to my original unsecured connection but still I could not connect. I have
since run the Linksys Netset client and this establishes a new connection.
When I rebooted the PC the wireless connection would not connect again. I
looked at the wzc status and it was not started. I started it and under
wireless networks tab chose use windows to configure my network settings and
after 3 or 4 attempts a connection was established. After every restart the
wzc is not started even though it is set to automatic.

can you try uninstalling the Linksys utility? then reboot, turn the
WZC service on again if it is off.

I had that problem with Zonealarm and had to disable it while I worked
on the router. It was strange that I could turn off every security
feature and I still had to unload Zonealarm completely. It doesn't make
sense to me but that fixed my Linksys WRT54G setup problem.

I managed to get everything working with my daughter's H.P. laptop but I
have to have it on my lap while I tweaked everything else. Once I set
the wireless to 'G' only and entered her MAC #, it hooked up. After that
it took a while to find out whether to use 64 bit or 128 bit, WPA, WEP,
Tkip and a common security key, but it only took about 45 minutes. Most
of that was poor documentation for the laptop and how to set up a
non-plain-Jane wireless link. We have a few 'War drivers' around here
that I have detected or just some neighbors who don't get the security
aspects of running your own Internet radio station.

Hi I downloaded the ezlan startup utility and found something called broadcom
which was running the wireless configuration. I disabled this and reselected
wzc, rebooted and I connected straight away. Thank you verymuch for your time
and help.

Just to add another layer of strange to this I was having a problem with
getting a solid connection when I turned my computer on in the morning.
No Internet connection even though nothing had changed. The cure,
strangely enough, was to just unplug the ethernet cable to my computer
and after about 5 seconds plug it in again, and it was like Windows had
detected a whole new network. I never had this problem booting into
Suse, or Ubuntu, so it was/is a Windows thing.
Now I don't think I will buy Vista until some stupid customer buys into
it and I have to go with the flow. Needless to say I prefer Linux for
the critical stuff and Windows only for the forced CAD programs and the
few things that companies just won't port over to Linux. As long as I
have Open Office and Mozilla that takes care of most of my needs.
I think Protel and Cadence would be very pleasantly surprised if they
came out with Linux versions that could send Windows compatible files
over the office network.
