Gottfried and all, Interesting problem. My new Laptop has integrated 802.11b Wi-Fi capability and configuring it to my wireless router is currently the problem. The laptop runs on Win XP Pro and uses some IBM software for connections, as well. The wireless router is a Linksys BEFW11S4. When I put the curser over the bottom taskbar icon for the wireless card, it says, "Status: Enabled, Operational Speed: 11Mbps Sent: 850 bytes Received: 7,294 bytes" The Windows XP Pro Wireless LAN Configuration Utility also confirms a connection at 11 Mbits/sec. Finally, my wife's laptop is currently accessing the internet, so I know the WAN is up and running. So I know I'm there's a connection, but when I open Internet Explorer, I cannot access the web. "The page cannot be displayed" is the heading of the IE message that comes up. It is the same one that shows up when you have no active connetion to the internet. 1) WEP is enabled at 64 bits. Ecryption has been activated on the new laptop using the same passphrase. 2)DHCP is enabled on the WAN So I'm trying to reconcile the Linksys WAN settings to the Microsoft/IBM software. It is connected but refuses to access the internet on a wireless connection. This setup will be very cool once I get it figured out! Thoughts? TIA nnil
