KC,
I had a persistent problem with getting wireless to work with my BN. No
matter how hard I tried,
it wouldn't work. My computer tech suggested I delete the connection
configuration and try again. I did this and everything worked beautifully!
I suggest this is what you should do.
Go to options menu, type C for Connectivity menu. Space through the options
till you find review an existing connection configuration
and press enter. The BN will prompt configuration to look up? Press
spacebar and you will see the name of your connection configuration or the
first one in your list. Type backspace with dots 2 3 5 6. Erase or delete
all connection configurations you may have in your BN by typing the
combination above. Your BN will prompt delete record sure? Type Y for yes.
Be sure you delete all of your connection configurations whether you have
one or three or more. Once that is done, do the following:
Type O for Options, C for connectivity, W for Wireless. The BN will prompt
wireless on? Currently no. Type Y for Yes. The BN will prompt wireless
ethernet network. Space through the options till you see scan for wireless
networks and press enter. You will be presented with a list of available
connections. In my case, I see my network and that is the only one
available. It shows it is active. Press enter and you should connect if
all is well and your network isn't a secure network. Press E or Z with
spacebar to get back to the connectivity menu. Space till you find review
an existing connection configuration and press enter. The BN prompts
connection configuration to look up? Press the spacebar and you may see non
preferred network. The BN created this connection configuration
automatically while you scanned for networks. Press backspace with dots 1
and 4 to make any changes in your connection configuration. Press spacebar
again and you will see connection configuration name? At this point I'd
type a name you can remember so you can find it again should you need to do
so. I usually give the configuration connection name the same name that my
SSID has. The next option is Device to use: wireless Ethernet connection
Space again and you will see the SSID. Backspace till you get connection
configuration name and type in what you saw in the SSID field. You
shouldn't have to change anything else in the configuration unless you have
a wep code. This shows as use wep? Currently no. Change it to Yes, then
type in the code as it is shown on the computer screen with router. On my
code, I capitalized all letters.
If you go to a non secure public network, do the same procedure and you
should connect immediately. If you still aren't connecting, the card may be
defective or you may need a PCMCIA to flash card adaptor to try in the side
slot. This might work better. For now, try the card in the back slot.
Keep deleting your configuration till you get it to work if it doesn't work
right away! Don't type in each field. I find when the BN creates the
connection configuration automatically, I have better luck in connecting to
a wireless network. My Keys are for the BT Models. If you have a dial up
connection configuration, don't delete that one.
HTH

Hello Jim,
I can't get DSL to work here (we tried 3 times to date); and, Cable is
too expensive.
