Basic question, but.....

I would be nice o know what O/S you're talking about?

Duane :)

Sorry, operating system is a toshiba satellite 1800 running windows me and the adapter is a lynksys wireless g wpc54g.

I an getting a message that the adapter is connected to the existing system but just cant get anything to happen.

Have disabled the previous dialup now but still no joy

Hey, sound shot often bag something interesting. The neighbor, the game warden, or even a turkey now and then.

This is usenet, Clarence is being helpful. Don't be the turkey.

SBC in the SF Bay Area seems to provide WEP encrypted connections. Is the previous tenant still paying the bill?

Did you try to connect?

Internet Explorer - Tools - Internet options - Connections - "Never dial a connection".

Previous discussion in this group:

Duane wants details? So he could provide an answer? Pshaw. Just take wild guesses at the popular answers ;-)

Just because you use a shot gun doesn't mean you're going to hit anything. ;-)

Duane :)

I could have posted my suggestions just by looking at the subject line.

I fired my shotgun in the same direction that hit a clay pigeon once before. It might catch something.

The thing that caught my eye was the "previous tenant" part. I wonder how long that WAP will work.

This may help you. I have not used a dial-up in a long long time, but if I had no use for something anymore, I would delete it. Maybe, that will clear your problem.

There's a shooter on the firing line -- let us all stand back. :)

One shoots enough times and one is bound to hit something I guess.

???????

Duane :)

What? One is somehow restricted to not having fun on the Internet? You take it any further than that, then it may be your *personal* problem. ;-)

Duane :)

Clarence ignores usenet comments that he doesn't like, plays with some, and tries to be helpful with some.

Clarence also really does own a shotgun, and I'm sure Clarence has fired in the same spot more than once.

THE POPE VALLEY TURKEY SHOOT

OP I hope you have gotten some help here -- that's all that counts. :)
