So finally decided to go the wireless route and picked up a new DWL-650 (only $40 this week at Office Max btw) card for my laptop. Slap it in, install the latest XP drivers off the website and everything appears fine. Getting a very good/excellent signal. Right click on the network connection in the sys tray and try to view available networks. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Everything is greyed out. Ipconfig release/renew is unsuccessful. I know the access point is configured right, I'm actually trying it at my neighbors house until I find the right price.
Any suggestions. This is my first attempting using 802.11b under XP. I've used it under 2K before and configured the SSID/channel using a manuf. supplied application. Everything I've read so far led me to believe that it's all in the box w XP.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
