Anyone use Netgear USB 2.0 wireless adapter?

[spirez]

This should be my last frickin network question for a while!!!

Right, i've got everything set up fine now, firewall is on, file sharing and internet are working fine between the two PCs, PSP is now on the net too BUT...

for some reason the blue LED on my USB 2.0 adapter is flashing. In the manual it states that the LED flashes when the adapter is attempting to make a connection and is solid when a good connection is made.

The status bars on the desktop both say there is a very good connection so i cant see why the adapter is still flashing.

Any ideas?

I have one for the pc downstairs connected to my Netgear Firewall Router.

That one also flashes all the time too. If it's bugging you, cover it up with tape. Not sure why it flashes all the time.

I've just hidden it out of the way now.

Everything's gone to pot this morning though. Internet is working fine on the main computer that the router is connected to but the network is down.

On my computer upstairs it says i have limited or no connectvity and i dont know what to do about it. tried disabling then re-enabling the network and re-entering the WEP code etc but it's still the same.

I searched the Netgear forums about my wireless not working and a lot of people said about the flashing light and mine does it too, all works fine though.
