I have not been able to respond to your posts about my Oct 18 question. I am trying to find the/a program to download that will let me roam around and watch signal strength of the signal in question. Any ideas? Maybe just watch the connection strength icon? I would like a meter. My laptop is a basic, relatively cheap, Gateway 4025, XP home, using the supplied wireless device. Again I am 20 miles from a town, Tuscaloosa, AL, and my closest neighbor is about 1/4 mile away and I think he is on cable (which I can't get). I am, however, only about 2 miles from a couple of wireless phone towers that are on I-20. Could the signal be from them? Again, the computer says the signal strength is strong. Seems like a puny home setup 1/4 mile away would not have a strong signal here. I tried changing the connection choice in the computer and it did nothing. May have to talk to him. I have a pretty good connection with my cell phone as I am on a hill and can see the towers, one is cingular which is my carrier. May have to check out their wireless broadband program. Anyway, I am still baffeled. Further ideas that are not too complicated? I am so tired of dialup!! Thanks
