How to be Wireless with Windows 2000????

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Hello everybody,
I hope somebody will be able to help me. I have 2 laptops at home that
I want to use wireless. To do that, I recently bought and installed a
LinkSys Access point. Since the first laptop uses Windows XP, I had no
problem to make it work wireless. Instantly the computer has detected
the wireless connection. It is with the other computer that I have
problem.

The second computer does not use XP but Windows 2000 professional with
a Centrino processor (by the way, I cannot uninstall Windows 2000 and
replace it by XP, I have to keep Windows 2000). I have read that
Windows 2000, even if I have a Centrino processor, is not made to
automatically work wireless.

Can someone tell me, what I need to do or to install in order to make
my second laptop work wireless and detect the wireless connection
around.

Thanks a lot !!
Nancy
