Hi,
I just got my new laptop an eMachine m6809. It comes with an integrated
wirless g card. I just got a Microsoft wireless B router yesterday hoping
that I could get online wirelessly. I have the router (base station as it's
referred to) all connected and can get online via cat5. However, I can't
seem to figure out how to go wireless.
When I click on the wireless network connection, nothing comes in the
available wireless networks.
When I go to my network connections window I have 3 items under my LAN or
High-Speed Internet section:
Wireless Network Connection (which says is unavailable) - In the properties
I have the Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box
selected but nothing shows up below
Local Area Connection (which is enabled) - When I unplug the cat5, this gets
disabled and I lose my connection
It looks like the adapter is using the Local Area Connection...maybe I
have to switch to the wireless? how?
1394 Connection (which is enabled)
If I go to my Microsoft Broadband Network Utility and click on Adapter
Settings, my wireless section is grayed out.
Anybody have an idea?
thanks
Dan
