A problem I have

jt2007 · 09-22-2007, 08:21 AM

Hi all,
I have recently bought a laptop with a built-in 56k modem. Today, I also bought an AzureWave Wireless router. I have followed the instructions, but it doesn't work! :( I was wondering weather it would be at all possible for anyone to help me? Thank you very much in advance,

Joe

Well, a 56k modem and a wireless router have nothing in common. I hope your laptop (make/model unspecified) has an 802.11b/g capability, or it won't be connecting to a wireless router.

how do I know if it has an 802.11b/g capability, as on the site I got it from, it doesn't seem to tell me.

thanks.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
