802.11 G Router and 802.11B laptop - can't connect

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

I have a D-Link DI-524 802.11G wireless router that works fine with my
D-Link 802.11G PC Card.

My son has a Dell Inspiron 600M computer wired for 802.11B with an Intel
Pro/ wireless LAN 2100 mini PCI adapter.

The laptop won't connect to my router. HELP please. Thank you all very
much.

Do you have WEP or WAP enabled? Has your son configured his notebook to
your SSID etc??

I also just got a 600m today, and guess what - the NIC card won't get
an IP either. This is bullsh*t. Neither the fancy IntelPRO2100
'centrino' can get an ip and the super duper Broadcom Gigabit NIC
can't get one either.

Avoid the 600m like the plague. This thing is going back tomorrow
unless someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

What kinda AP are you trying to 'attach' to?
