outoftown: If your card is 802.11a only then it will NOT work. You need a 802.11b, 802.11g aor a 802.11a/b card for it to work.

Also, people might want to try releasing and renewing their IP leases before connecting.

In the run menu or dos window type, ipconfig/release then at the prompt ipconfig/renew (windows 2000. other systems differ in the nomanclature)

Sorry I was hazy on the gift. It's an a/b/g card...however, I thought that "a" was backwardly compatible with g and the older b. Birthday in January, I'll ask for an "a" router and desktop card so I can use it at home.
