At a friend's house
I brought my Dell laptop (Windows XP) with Siemen Wireless PCMCIA card to a
friend's house. He had DSL Verizon service with a gateway which provided ethernet and wireless. The connection through ethernet worked fine (internet) but I could not get a wireless connection. I also could not get the wireless icon when I selected XP Network Connections. Are there options to set or security to deal with? Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks, fredm =?Utf-8?B?ZnJlZG0=?= |

Re: At a friend's house
Did you scan for networks, and if so what did you see? Did you find the
network, did it show a security setting, could you see the SSID? Does you friend use MAC address filtering? Normally, you scan for a network, pick the one you want and click connect. You should be presented with an option to set up a profile or something that asks about security or something. I don't understand the part about the wireless icon. Do you not show a wireless connection in Network Connections whenever you have the wireless card installed?
