finally got the POS to connect to the internet...
linksys emailed me and walked me thru it....basically it was a registry problem ....even when i uninstalled the software...some crap was left behind in the registry....
long story short i cleared the junk out ...reinstalled the software and hardware and it connected within 10 sec....the secure network was working within 30 sec ...and now im up and running....
thanks to all of those who racked their heads and assisted me in troubleshooting this pesky prob...
finally wireless 1nce again ! woohoo
