How does built-in wireless connection work in a laptop? I understand that I can get wireless internet connection if my laptop has a built-in wireless card for as long as I'm in a "hotspot" where I get connection from radio waves. How true is that? I am planning to get a laptop, but I'm not sure if where we live now is actually a "hotspot" or not where I could use it for regular web surfing? We do have broadband internet for our desktop now, but I don't want to have a wireless router connected to that as it is connected to my work/company's computer, I trust wired network better for that. If there is a DSL or Cable internet provider in our area, will that give a big possibility that I will be able to get good signal for the laptop's wireless internet connection? Where do built-in wireless cards get their signals anyway? Is it possible that I will be getting a signal from other people's wireless connection? Can anyone explain this to me? I'm all confused. Thanks a lot!

How can I change my wireless internet connection to an Ethernet connection using my computer? I use a wireless card to connect my desktop to the internet. I Also want to connect my ps2 in the same room to the internet. The router is to far away for it to be practical running a lan cable from it to the ps2. I am currently able to get one of my ps2 games online using ics on Windows XP and an extra lan card on the desktop but the other 2 games won't work. I know ics is not ideal for this and even with the Windows firewall off most of the ports the games use are blocked. My question is are there any programs that will fix this or better yet is there any boot disc that I can start my computer with (something linux based) that will make my computer a pass through using my wireless card and lan card? Then when I'm done pop the disk out, reboot, and start windows normally? Both cards are Realtek based, the wireless is an rtl8180 and the lan is a rtl8139c. Any ideas? I ment something Linux based that works like the Knoppix live cd. I can pop in it when I boot, maybe save the settings for it on one of my hard drives or a floppy or pen drive. Then when I'm done gaming, remove the disk and restart the computer. I know there is some firewall software like this but I don't know it it supports wireless cards.

Help my wireless adapter is not working? Yesterday i bought a wireless adapter, hooked it up, and it worked fine. Now, about a day later, i came back to use it and it connected for a few seconds then said it was not disconnected. It still behaves and looks like its connected, but the icon on the start bar next to the time thing has the infamous red x on it, and the wireless connections manage says it is not connected, but only has the options available for if it was connected, to disconnect. It tells me to go to the network connections thing, then right click the network adapter and change some settings, but its not there. My parents wireless laptops work, my ipod touch works, its just the desktops wireless adapter that does not work properly. I am sure they are compatible, as they are both from the same dlink line of wireless networking line of products. What can i do about it, because i am sure it can connect, i just don't know why it won't connect anymore

In the virgin media wireless manager when i start that, my signal is excellent, it just doesnt connect and a little grey box comes up asking me to enter my network password, the only password i know is the one i set myself and that doesnt seem to work. Please help. It was working fine this morning then i come bck couple hours later and its not! Theres been nobody in my house playing about with this either (unless my cat has been getting technical lol) Seriously though, please help, i dont have a phone line so cant phone technical support. Thank you. By the way my router is Netgear wgr614 and my laptop is Windows Vista (its rubbish vista lol ) Just incase you needed to know. There is no code other than the mac and serial code on my router. Also to the other answer, i have not been hacked, my network is secured and i have a password on it and i cnt unplug any adaptor from my laptpop cos its wireless and i dont have anything plugged into my laptop! Ne1 else, plz help me =(
Wireless Keyboard Trouble!! PLease HELP? Hi, I bought a wireless keyboard+mouse last year, a logitech mx3000 desktop which I set up on my macbook without any drivers. It managed to work as a plug and play device although I do think my mac had configured the keyboard using its inbuilt utility that pops up everytime you connect a new keyboard. Now the other day I might've accidentally pressed something on either the wireless receiver or the keyboard itself which has caused all the keys to stop working. There are some keys that work but keys like the letter keys, number keys, shift, ctrl, alt etc have all stopped working. So in the name of figuring out i lay both my palms flat on all the keys and suddenly i started to see 7's being typed which happened through some combination i mightve pressed but i noticed that the number 7 wasn't actually held down but a lot of the other keys were. Does anyone know what is going on here or do I give my keyboard it's last rights? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. useful comments would be a appreciated a lot more sir.
need help with setting up my wireless..?

I'm using windows XP and at the bottom right there is a computer with an x which is my wireless but when i click on it and refresh.. nothing comes up. i dont want to reset the router until i find out if its safe and please help, it's really annoying having to go on my laptop where I can just go on my computer.

ive really been wanting to find wireless earbuds for my iphone. any help would be greatly appreciated? ok so ive been looking for wireless earbuds..not headphones, earbuds that like stick in your ear. the only thing i can really find are imuffs and those look stupid and they're headphones. i dont get why companies havent come out with them yet. bluetooth headsets (for calling) are two way wireless, having to go from the phone to the headset, and then sending back your voice to the phone. wireless earbuds would only be one way, from the iphone to your ear. it seems like it would be a lot more simple and cheap to create than even bluetooth headsets. if anyone can tell me why they havent come out with anything or could give me anything i would be so very thankful

Help! My boyfriend set up my laptop with a wireless card, and now my desktop PC won't connect!? I recently bought a new laptop, and a wireless adapter card for it. My boyfriend installed the adapter on the laptop, and the laptop is able to connect to the internet. The problem is, now my desktop computer cannot connect to the internet. The desktop is hooked up to my DSL router. I don't understand how the laptop can be picking up the connection wirelessly, and yet the computer that is physically connected to the DSL doesn't work. I tried calling the phone company, and they didn't seem to understand the problem. I tried calling the company that makes the adapter, because a friend told me they might help, but they said as long as their card is working they can't help. The only information I could get is that it might be related to a "network." I'd like to avoid having a computer technician come to my house if I can. Can anyone tell me where I might look to fix the problem? How can I restore my computer's settings so that it connects to the DSL again? I tried reinstalling the DSL.

My city offers free wireless and I have a desktop. Can I connect my desktop to this wireless network? Help!? My city offers free wireless internet from huge antennas scattered around town. The closest one is a thousand feet or so away and not line of sight. I brought in a friends laptop and was able to see the network with three out of four bars, but did not try connecting. I have heard that you may be able to see the connection, but not connect in some situations. Is that true? Should I bring his laptop back and try to connect to that network w/ it? I am planning on buying a Linksys PCI card for my desktop but it appears they have three or four models to choose from. I am not sure which one to get, or if it will even work. Here are my options: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search.php?form_keyword=linksys+pci+card&topcat_id= I was looking at : Linksys WMP54GX Wireless Network Adapter 802.11b/g, 108 Mbps, 128 Bit WEP, WPA2 and Linksys WMP300N Wireless Network Adapter Card 802.11b/g/draft n, 300Mbps, 256bit WEP, WPA Any help you can provide would be much appreciated! From what I understand the city provides 802.11 b and g compatible wifi. www.wifihermosabeach.com LOOKING FOR MORE INFO: 1) I am worried about range. Is 1000+ feet to the antenna doable? 2) Since it is so far, does a pci card provide more "power" to reach the antenna. I am pretty sure the signal can reach my computer from the source, I am just worried about getting back to the antenna from my computer 3) Will a USB work just as well and provide the same "power"? 4) Any suggestions on the best product for my situation?
HELP PLEASE !! What is the Average Speed For Filesharing through 2 Computers On A Wireless Network? I have 2 wireless computers, one a desktop the other a laptop. I have them connected through a wireless modem and both running the internet. I have set up file sharing through windows and am able to acces and share files between both computers. My question is what should the speed be when transfering files from one computer to the other through home networking in windows. And have set up a home network using the networking wizard through windows and selecting each computer is connected to the internet through a residential gateway,, this i think meaning my wireless modem ( an orange livebox ) what should be the speed i get when transfering files between computers ?? they both have excellent signal as the modem is just at the other end of the room and both adapters are 54mbps. but at max i am only getting 0.5 mbps speed when transfering the files, surely it should go faster than this, should it ??? Thanx for answers so far, but my livebox is at the other end of the room with no obsticles in the way, singnal quality will be fine, And also my internet connection is running at 2mbps. And sorry but all antivirus software is dormant it isnt scanning, and have allowed all access through firewall etc. Juat wanted to know why i am still getting a slow speed and should it be faster

Technical help for my wireless connection? I have a wireless network, with one laptop already connecting, but when I try to use another laptop(both with XP home), it won't go past the step where it acquires the IP address from the router. I know my router is DHCP capable, and it had no trouble assigning an IP address to my first laptop. I've tried setting a static IP address, and entering those setting manually into the TCP settings page on my laptop, and no success. Then I figured there might be something wrong with my wireless card, so i tried it at a friends house, and I had a flawless connection. Any ideas on what i can do? I hope this is enough info to find help. All settings match, and DHCP is enabled on both the router and the laptop. Can I rule out that the wireless adapter on the laptop is malfunctioning since i was able to connect to another network using a DHCP server? Both of which were 802.11G by the way. Not to mention that I've connected to my network before using another computer.

Can you help me troubleshoot a connection to my wireless access point? My desktop is connected to my Linksys WAP. I can connect my laptop to the WAP with an ethernet cable.

Can you help with a verizon wireless question? I recently had verizon wireless installed on my Toshiba laptop, but I live in an area with bad, bad signal reception. Very low speed. Often I get knocked offline, and to make it worse I frequently have my computer lock up completely when this happens. It will take no commands; not even to turn off. I have to unplug and let the battery completely drain so I can reboot. Why is this happening? What can I do to get around this, other than move or remove my battery?
Where can I get extensive help on setting up a wireless access point? We're trying to create a wireless "mesh" to cover a campus. I need to know more about penetration issues (walls, trees, etc). Does it reduce the access point range or does it cut it off. If we're using a 100m range AP, can we put them 50m apart to compensate for a building in between? And also about electrical interference (we're thinking of mounting the access points on electric poles). Thanks.

I really need help concerning with wireless internet card and router? I already have Verizon dsl internet connection but I would like to buy a laptop soon and possibly instead of having all these wires and crap in the way, I would like to have Verizon wireless internet instead. Can I purchase this card only and the router and then just connect it to the laptop? What are the requirements or things I have to do? I'm really confused and I'm sorry if the information I provided is vague but I really don't have a clue so yeah. Also, I live with my younger brother and I would like to do the same thing for him, too. Do I have to buy another router and another wireless internet card? What's the deal? If anyone can help me that'd be more than appreciated.
Can you help me get my wireless router working? OK here's whats happend so far. I opened my new Linksys Wireless G Router and put in the CD that came with it so it could step-by-step guide me in how to hook it up. I am 100% sure that I put the cables where they needed to go, and yet during the setup process, it would not detect an internet connection. I did what it told me to do. I restarted my DSL modem 3 times, restarted the router, and the computer, but still no internet connection. I gave up on the setup process and hooked it back up before I put the router on. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get an internet connection on that thing? It asked me something about changing a connection (DCHP?? or something simliar like that, but I didn't change it, and I pressed continue) Don't know if it has anything to do with it. PLEASE HELP!

Can someone please help with setting up a wireless internet connection in my house? I live in a condo building that has broadband internet provided to all of the units. I have no modem, just an ethernet cable from the cat-5 jack in the wall connected to my laptop. I was wondering what router (if any) I should buy to set up a wireless connection. I recently bought a linksys where the directions said to connect an ethernet cable from the internet connection to the modem, from the modem to the router, and from the router to the pc. I tried to install it by bypassing the modem step, but I'm not exactly sure why it didn't work. Is anyone familiar with setting up a wireless connection in their own home similar to this? Any links or information would be greatly appreciated.

Can you download alternative software to help with connecting to wireless networks? Hi, my boyfriend recently bought a wireless adapter for his computer, the software that came with it is useless though, so it's making it a real hassle connecting to our router. The thing on windows XP isn't very useful either so I was wondering is there some kind of free to download software that helps you to manage your wireless connections and could help? The software that came with it is by Belkin and makes it really hard to set up all the right settings like the password etc, we know the adapter is working because it has picked up our network with full strength.

If anyone could help, I would appreciate it immensely! If you need any other info, please just ask. It does have the yellow exclamation point... Sorry...I should have said that this is Windows XP.

Are there any verizon wireless customers who can help me out? I am going to be getting a plan with verizon wireless. This will be my first time having a cell phone plan (I have had prepaid before with t-mobile). Are there any hidden fees? When you became a first time customer were there other things you were charged for besides the phone, the activation fee, and the monthly plan? I would also like to know what is the best phone to buy. I don't want to spend a lot of money but also don't want to get a crappy phone that I will be stuck with. I was looking at the Samsung Sch-u740 is this a good phone? Sorry I forgot to add. I have a razr it's broken. I haven't even had it a year. So many problems with it and I'm so unhappy with it I do not want a motorola. My brother has a razr and his seems to be fine but I would just rather have a different phone. I have read so many people with razr's who have had trouble. The nearest place for them to fix my razr is like 2 hours away and I can't do that. I take care of my phone. A boot loader screen keeps coming up on it and it won't shut off. I don't drive and don't have someone that would put gas in their car to drive 2 hours away for a stupid phone. It wouldn't even let me use half of the features it had.

Can you help me set up a home network wireless router to access files across computers: XP, 2000, 98 & Macs? I want to be able to share & retrieve various files across all platforms in the house (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Mac OS X (10.4) & OS 9.2). Can it be done? Can it be done securely?
