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?

I presume you have tried having your son reset the router, ie. power off, wait 10 seconds or so, then reapply power?

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

»www.intel.com/support/wireless/w···2929.htm

You might consider posting this on this BBR forum...

»Wireless Networking

...or the Intel Communities...

»communities.intel.com/community/tech

Sorry I can't be of further help...Good luck...
