Please log in for more thread options My daughter has the above Asus PCI card installed on her son's desktop = computer, which runs windows xp. She has her own desktop computer, which is hardwired to the D-link = router about 20 feet away. The son's computer sees the home network on her computer and says signal = strength is excellent, yet she cannot establish a connection, whereby = her son can see the Outlook express or Internet working. He is using the = same windows xp as she has on her desktop. She has her computer encrypted and put the same encryption key on the = Asus PCI card when it asked for it, but still she cannot get the IE or = OE. She has also tried it by removing the encryption on her computer, but = the son's desktop still cannot get to the Internet. What can possibly be the cause? When the son's desktop sees the home = network, does that not mean it "connects" via radio signal? How is it = then that it does not connect to the home network internet? ------=_NextPart_000_0014_01C800E8.A0889F20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1>
