I bought this USB card to get my PC USB 2.0 capable: http://www.shop4tech.com/item3652.html Slapped it into 2 different available PCI slots, but upon booting my computer, right after teh Dell screen, I get the following error message: Plug and Play Configuration Error Plug and Play...

That works but loads EXTREMELY slow and incorrectly. I can access the site once in a blue moon but it loads super slow and the page looks all messed up as far as formatting. If there is a free anonymous surfer out there that allows POST data (allowing me to login to my Corral account) then...

With my laptop I can't get to the site www.corral.net. Both Firefox and Internet Explorer give me a timed-out request/page cannot be displayed. I have tried getting to this site with different internet connections and no luck. Once in a blue moon I can access the site with my laptop (very odd)...

Hi, I don't have an internet connection yet in my new apartment but I want to transfer large files from my laptop to my desktop. I tried connecting an ethernet cable directly from my laptop to my desktop but Windows gave me the "Limited or no connectivity" message and I couldn't figure out how...

I have a laptop with a wireless card, and a desktop with just a wired NIC. The laptop is connected to a wireless network, and I have an ethernet cable running from the desktop NIC to the laptop NIC. What I'm trying to do is enable the desktop to have internet access through the laptop's wireless...

Do you have a link to it? I don't think my laptop came with the Intel connectivity software, all I see is the Intel advanced driver settings. I have NetStumbler, but it looks like I can only monitor networks, not connect to them.

anyone?

I have lots of issues with the Windows software that connects to wireless networks. Are there any other third party programs I can use instead of Windows to connect to wireless networks? The adapter I have in my laptop is Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection. Thanks.

Do these antennas only connect to the routers/APs or can they also connect to the Wireless adapter? If so, how exactly does it hookup/connect to the adapter? I found a good deal on an antenna here: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0165348 Will this...

Why is everyone getting their panties all knotted up for? The kid just wants to access his email.

I don't know who the owner is. If you're trying to imply that I'm leeching off someone's personal connection, I'm not. I explained to you in another thread that these networks are from nearby university buildings and cafes etc. It must be something with the settings of my computer if...

Not sure what those are, I know SSID is the display name of the network. I don't have access to the routers, they are public. All I can do is edit settings on my laptop.

For some reason my wireless connection (excellent signal strength) drops like every 10 minutes unless I have the program NetworkStumbler running in the background. Same thing happens with other wireless networks. Can anyone provide an explanation? The connection was dropping every 10 minutes...

I figured it out, apparently you have to add the networks to your list of preferred networks in the advanced settings. weird like that.

Here are a couple of pics of what happens. This is just an example, back at my home there will often be 2 or 3 networks that don't require a key, and the same thing happens. http://community.webshots.com/myphotos?action=viewAllPhotos&albumID=432328038 In this example I was already online...
