Ok, I'm almost positive you've seen this question before. I just recently
found out about this, so please forgive if it's a common question/problem.
1- I have a eMachine m6809 Laptop - with integrated Wireless G card
2- I have a Wireless Microsoft 802.11 Wireless B Router
3- I have a cable modem
What I have been able to accomplish:
Connect the cable modem to the router to the laptop via Cat5 and get an
internet connection - which comes up in my network connections as a Local
Area Connection, which is enabled.
I then, recently, figured out how to enable my integrated wireless g network
adapter. Microsoft's Router software lets you view your network/internet
connection via their Microsoft Broadband Network Utility. So, currently it
says my computer is hooked up and running with my router which is connected
to the Internet via my Local Area Connection. If I go to my network
connections and disable my LAC and connect via my wireless adapter, I can
see that the computer is using the wireless card now, I guess, and it says
signal strength is excellent yadda yadda yadda...but if I look at my
Broadband Network Utility, it says it's using the wireless card but below it
says I'm not connected to my network nor the Internet.
Anybody have an idea what I am not doing right?
Thanks for your help!
