Have you upgraded the router's driver to Windows 7?

If you have windows 7 64 bit version this will not work. This will only work on 32 bit

just installed my belkin wireless g usb adapter on windows 7 64 bit down loade driver from belkin right click run in compaterbilty mode windows vista service pack 2 and install

Hi mwells960

Theres alot of differnet things i could ask you, but im going to assume you're jsut setting up a basic VPN. That means that somebody is telecommuting to work and wants to hit the server at work.

That means you have a static ip at work, and your at home workers has whatever, a internet connection lets say. Im thinking DSL with ATT since its a netopia 3347N.

If the netopia has a gui interface, you cant vpn thru it. Its not a VPN router. Its a residential router that you're trying to make do too much.

The sad news is, you can't upgrade it to an Enterprise having firmware router anymore, netopia use to offer that, but when Motorolla bought them out last year, they did away with that nice little feature. For true VPN'ing with a router, first, go get a VPN router to start with.

Most people accomplish what you are doing by putting the netopia in to bridegemode, and then putting a VPN router like a linksys behind it.

spin

.

go to windows update after you have installed netopia usb adapter and do custom scan and it will bring up ralink 2500 usb driver install that and it will work netopia usb adapter i think it has ralink chip but it works with mine

in the ATT region, they use PPPoE (in general, even if you have sticky static IPs)

plug in the router, turn it on, open Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.254

a little window will pop open

the username is admin, the password is the serial number on the bottom of the netopia

click on configure, then click on quickstart

type in your username (the emaill address from ATT like [email protected]) and your password for your email address

click submit underneath it

clike the yellow triangle up at the top right

click save and restart

in like 2-3 minutes, you can open IE or firefox, whatever

and see if you're online (you should be)

spin

.

Can you ping them, there may be a type of firewall that is blocking that traffic on the netopia router. Try and ping between computers and see what you have any comminication.

you have to install the driver for the wireless adapter

if both computer's are connected to a router. Try disconnecting power cable from router for about 30 seconds then reconnecting. The reason that I suggest this is because you mentioned that there is no packet being trans/rec. You might also want to check the IP addresses to make sure there's no interference with the other computer's IP address
