I got an 802.11(g) card to use with an IBM notebook running Win 2K. The card is found in the PCMCIA slot. I've set up the Internet connection because I get the little: "you're connected" icon in the tray and the status window shows it speaking through a wireless gateway. BUT, I can't connect applications. Being a Mac user I don't know what the hell is going on.
Questions:
1. Is there an application that I need to get (from MS?) that will show a view of the available WiFi signals, so that I can program the SSID, etc. and connect? Where do I get it?
2. Why won't IE see the connection?
3. Why does my Internet preferences setup-a-new-connection not show the WiFi card as an option and ALWAYS (and I mean always) assume I'm going to dial in to a host?
Free subscription for a year to any user who can pass on a few helpful hints. (And this is even before the Spring readership drive kicks in!!)
Thanks in advance.
