Re: problem connecting to a wireless network
I will attempt to answer your questions correctly -
1. RE: Question - If not do you have wireless enabled on your laptop? Some laptops have a switch to enable/disable the wireless hardware.
Answer - I am able to connect to other networks. Just today I was at a cafe and was able to connect to their network so I don't think that is the problem.
2. RE: Question - What wireless router is your son using, ie. manufacturer and model?
Answer - It is a D Link Wireless ADSL Router DSL G604T/TX Ver. A3
3. RE: Question - What wireless hardware are you using on your laptop? Is it integrated or an add-on card?
Answer - I looked in my Device Manager and it says I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG Network Connection. So I assume that means it is integrated in. I have not added anything to my computer since buying it. It came with an internal card.
Also, my son is using a Mac Computer. Does that cause a problem for me connecting with a PC? |

Other than that there are a few possibilities on the Intel site that may or may not help.

You might consider posting this on this BBR forum...
»Wireless Networking
...or the Intel Communities...
