   Hi Windows XP Experts,   
      
   I have a question about Windows XP and Wireless networking.   
      
   Here is the situation:   
      
   I am currently running Windows XP Home on my Acer Aspire 7220, which   
   originally shipped with Windows Vista Home Basic. Which IMHO was a pig.   
   Out of frustration I installed several GNU/Linux distributions (mostly   
   kept up with the latest Ubuntu release) which ran fine.   
      
   My family stays in touch using Skype, yet unfortunately the GNU/Linux   
   version of Skype is a POS. My family can see and hear me, but I can't   
   see them.   
      
   So I replaced Ubuntu 10.04 with Microsoft Windows XP Home and after   
   updates and SP3, Wireless Networking, using WPA2 finally works, but   
   don't ask how.   
      
   My (secondary) Sitecom Wireless router is connected to a (primary)   
   Emminent router. Under GNU/Linux I could simply use the (secondary)   
   wireless router as a access point (the CAT5 UTP cable from the (primary)   
   Emminent router was simply connected to a random LAN port, which ran   
   fine under GNU/Linux). Under Windows XP I have to connect the CAT5 UTP   
   cable from the (primary) Emminent router to the WAN port of the   
   (secondary) Sitecom Wireless router. Otherwise Windows XP doesn't pick   
   up the Wireless signal at all.   
      
   I wonder what I've done wrong.   
      
   TIA
