I have just purchased a SMC7004WBR barricade, and a 3COM Airconnect PCMCIA card for my Dell Inspirion 8000 notebook. I got the ethernet portion up and running without a snag, however the wireless portion is pretty new to me and I need a bit of help.
Problem is relatively simple the PCMCIA card is not finding the Acess point (SMC7004WBR).
I am running the dreaded winblows ME. The question that really has me puzzled is the SMC refers to channels such as 6 for North America and 7 for Japan etc. While the 3COM card has no channels but some sort of area number which defaults to 101. I tried putting them both at 6 but still no link! The barricade doesnt give me any other options besides this ESSID thing which was set to default! I changed it to ANY after reading up on a page from www.practicallynetworked.com but that didnt help much either.
If anyone knows how to get these two pieces of hardware up and running please help me out! Thanks
