You didnt mention what type of NIC you are using ... does the driver allow for the configuration of a preamble mode? Typical choices are Long, Short, None, Auto. Try it out with None. I have tried using my wireless card with friends networks who have newer equipment than I do, and thier stuff does not support the preamble. I disabled it on my NIC, and bingo ! I was fully connected to thier networks. give it a try ... - NuTs
