there are about 10 things that could be wrong here....also what kind of security are you running on the linksys? if its WPA-PSK then your B card will not connect to it...only WEP it supports. |
Thanks for the welcome
Old Lappy card is a .. IEEE 802.11b Wireless MiniPCI Card 7007, driver version is 8.22.50.804, its currently set at use default channel.....card power management off & Wake On Lan off.
all firewalls are off on the laptop......
the card is enabled also, several times I've tried repair in which windows disables the card then enables then attempts to find and connect to a network.....none found in range......laptop is about 1 metre from router. lol
Security next, well the linksys is currently set to no encryption....its disabled for the purposes of trying to remedy this.......
Mode: Mixed 11/54Mbps
SSID: linksys
DHCP Server: Enable
Channel: 11
Encryption Function: Disable
