Re: problem connecting to a wireless network
Any chance he is using either Channel 12 or 13?
Here in the US we are limited to Channels 1 through 11. Many countries around the world have access to an additional two (Europe/Austrailia/New Zealand I believe) or three channels (Japan only I believe). If that is the case he needs to temporarily switch to a lower channel on his wireless access point/router or you would need to download and install a driver from your manufacturers web site designed for New Zealand or Australia.
Also make sure he is broadcasting his SSID. Not doing so can cause connectivity issues.

Long Beach, CA | he is on channel 6. Switching to channel 11 to give it a try. He is broadcasting his SSID.
Do you have any idea where I would find my "network adaptor" so I can go into those settings per some of the instructions I found on Google? |
