Ok, this is a PC question for the moment, but as soon as I get my G4 Tower hooked up with a wireless card, it'll be a problem for both of them.
So here's the deal, I've got a Linksys Wireless Router (802.11g) that I hooked up to a Desktop PC, and went through the installation, and setting up the network, broadcasting the SSID and all. Now, the cable modem goes into the back of the router, and then onto the PC, and the internet works perfectly. The problem comes with my laptop, it can't see any wireless signal at all. Now, I know the laptop works fine, I use it all the time to connect to wireless networks at school and at coffeeshops, but when it's sitting next to the router (or anywhere else in the house) it doesn't see any signal. If I hook it up to the router with an ethernet cord, the internet works fine. So, what do you think I did wrong, or what do you think could be the problem. I had wireless encryption set up, but I also tried it without, and still couldn't see anything. Its like the router isn't even broadcasting anything? Any ideas
