Dell Inspiron 1100 notebook, Windows 2000 Professional and a Microsoft MN-520 Wireless card

[Charles W. Stricklin]

I use a Dell Inspiron 1100 notebook running Windows 2000 Professional
(5.00.2195 Service Pack 4) with a Microsoft MN-520 Wireless card and I've
never been able to get them to work together. I've installed the Broadband
Networking CD following the instructions exactly. I've gone to several
different wireless network locations and verified my settings each time. I
can see the lights on the card flashing, so I know it's seeing something,
yet it always says it is not connected to the Internet: Troubleshoot.

I'm about to shoot the card if I can't get it to work. Can anyone help?

Did you check User's guide page 20?
did you setup right WEP, SSID and IP address?
are all wireless locations using 802.11b?
Dose your MAC address are applyed on each loactions?
(If they filtered by Mac Address)
