Hello!
I bought a new notebook with Windows Vista Home Basic installed. I tried to connect with a WLAN-network.I could find the network , but because of an "unknown cause" it can't connect.I put my firewalls off and I know that my Router works with 802.11b , and my laptop supports it.The wired network works perfectly well.And my sister's notebooks that work with XP do so ,too.I really don't know what to do .Can anybody help me or tell me whom I can ask? Thanks a lot |

what firewall exactly? some have to have you explicitly enable the
local subnet. turning them off doesn't stop these issues. is your router 802.11b only? what router model and hardware and firmware versions? what wireless adapter is in the Vista notebook? please post the output of ipconfig /all on the Vista notebook On Sat, 4 Aug 2007 13:34:00 -0700, Kathrin wrote: Hello!
