Running WinXP Professional with a Wireless card. Trying to get it to
connect to the free wireless network at the public libarary. When I boot
the machine it finds the network connection access point, and states
EXCELLENT connection. But when I try to browse the web it does not find
anything. Is there some other configuration switch in WinXP I have to set.
If I go to Wireless Network Connection Properties it does not show any
available networks. Have tried both "Use Windows to Configure" as
checked and unchecked. Also have FIREWALL feature on the Advanced tab
unchecked. What else is there to check. The PC connects to the internet
excellent when I run an Ethernet wire to it, but when I use the SMC 2532W-B
Wireless PC Card 802.11b, it finds the Access Point but WindowsXP does not
use it properly???
