By 2 desktops I meant that I have to plug my new laptop in via ethernet next
to my desktop computer because I cannot get the wireless connection to work
with WindowsVista. When I go through the step by step process it sees my
router and a very strong signal. It detects the hardware but cannot configure
automatically. When I go through the manual steps, it actually opens an IE
window with the address being my router's IP address. (It even includes my
bookmarks. ) My router doesn't have a USB port to try the flash method. I
have been at this since Sunday but was sidetracked by an e-mail issue which
was resolved through this forum yesterday.
