Hi. I have dsl through SBC. I bought the LINKSYS wireless router, and set it up using my dell notebook (which has windows xp). No problems with my dell picking up and using the wireless signal. However, my gf's computer, an IBM Thinkpad, with a netgear wg511 54 Mbps wireless card can see the wireless signal, with 99% to 100% signal clarity, but cannot pull up a website. The thinkpad uses windows 2000. the think pad is set up to obtain an IP address automatically, pursuant to the LINKSYS documentation. However, when I try to ping test, i recieved errors indicating that the ping was not getting through to the router. HELP? what can i do? thanks. snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com
