Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have recently tried to install a 2.4GHz wireless-G notebook adapterfrom
lynksys to my laptop. The device has been installed and the General
properties say that the device is working correctly. However on the choose a
wireless network the screen it says that windows can not configure this
wireless connection. I am at a losssince i have followed the instructions
from SBC my DSL provider and the Linksys website!
anybody have an idea to help

I have a windows xp home OS . Where do I go to select one or the other
controls the configuration? I know its probably basic but i don't really know
jack about where to find such pages for fear doing damage to the computer

You can leave everything in place - go to my computer - control panel - then
click on network connections - find your linksys wireless connection - ask
it to view the wireless networks it will then tell you how to have windows
take back the management from linksys
