I am totally stumped at the moment. The situation as best I can describe it
is this ....
Bought a wifi pci card for my pc and got an ipaq with a cf wifi card.
Connected to the pc to use inet access and access to files. Worked fine.
Bought a ibm thinkpad second hand with win 98se and got an octopus / realtek
pcmcia wifi b card and connected to the pc easily.
Have now got a new advent 7039 with a built in intersil prism wifi g. This
wont connect to my pc at all and I have had to put in my pcmcia card to get
wireless access.
So what am I doing wrong ? What setting am I missing ? When I click on the
monitor with the x on it it says wireless networks available, shows my
network I click connect but nothing happens. My advent is using xp home. My
pc xp pro. I must be missing a setting somewhere along the line but I cant
figure out what. The network id is "mypc" which the computer finds. I have
got both computers in the same workgroup " work ".
The problem is Im not really a network person but I found it so easy to get
access before. Now this has me stumped. I have the right channel set and I
click scan but all it keeps saying is " associating "
Can anyone help as Im really peeved at having to use a pcmcia card when I
have a wifi g built in.
Many thanks in advance.
