Re: problem connecting to a wireless network

Click for full size
Right Click My Computer>Select Manage>Select Device Manager>Network adapters>Right Click Intel Wireless>Select Properties

Scroll down to Wireless Mode>Select 802.11G and 802.11B>Hit OK
I am willing to bet that the laptop Intel wireless is set by default to only use one or the other 802.11G or B at one time, that was the case when my father's brand new Dell with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG tried to connect to an older 802.11B network, had to go into device settings to change it's wireless mode to mixed aka A/B/G, (was set to G mode only by default) before it was able to connect to the older B network. I would check the router/modem wireless settings to confirm whether it is broadcasting B or G or both. If it is B, then your laptop wireless is most likely ignoring B. If it is G, your laptop wireless is ignoring G. If the router is in mixed mode(both B & G) then it's an whole other problem entirely.

1 edit		 Nice info, but the OP is using a non-802.11a capable chipset (Intel 2200).

Edit: sorry, I thought you were implying he should try enabling up 802.11a mode. Nevermind. It's late.
