Obtaining signal problem. I've run into this problem a couple of times at hotels with the same D-Link wireless network system.

I've got a standard NetBlaster 802.11b wireless card. The supporting driver/utility allows me to select "ANY" to find any Wi-Fi network, or I can enter in the specific SSID.

Have never had a problem getting a signal from anyone...TurboNet, WayPort, T-Mobile, etc, etc...either using "ANY" or entering their known SSID.

But at properties that have the D-Link 2.4ghz 802.11g Wi-Fi system, I can't seem to get a signal, even with the correct SSID. It's supposed to be fully compatible with 802.11b. No encryption...it's disabled at both ends. I've gone over all the settings and such and messed around with them trying to find if one might be the magic bullet, but no luck yet. Hotels insist everyone else has no problem getting a signal and on the wireless network.

I've loaded D-Link's CD driver the hotels provide, along with a loaner D-Link wireless card...

...and then everything works just fine, of course. But I'm trying to get it to work with my NetBlaster wireless card so I don't have to rely on if the hotel/location has a loaner for me to use.

Any ideas why I'm not getting a signal? Thanks.
