Hi, Don and everyone. My wife and I saw a device at office depot for around
30 dollars that tells you if there is a wireless network in your area. I
suppose it is most useful if you are in a restaurant, airport of hotel. I
hear starbucks all have wireless, but I haven't tried one yet.

Hi,
Sounds like your card is working okay, otherwise you'd probably get an
error when you try to set wireless active to yes. Also, you probably get
the "card
inserted" message when you put the card in the slot.
As to networks, you need to be sure you're in the range of a network that
will allow entry.
It's best to start out with a network you know such as your home network,
and then proceed from there.
It certainly is possible that you just aren't within range of a network
that will allow entry. I believe networks can be hidden from view by
unauthorized users,
but not totally sure about that.
But, it does sound like your card is working. If you can locate a network
and still have trouble gaining entry, you may need to talk to whomever is
in charge
of the network to see if there are any special settings such as turning on
wep or something like that.

Hi folks, I have an ambicom wireless card. Do I need to perform any setup
configurations to the card before I use it? How do I tell whether the card is
working? I ask these questions as I wasn't too sure what to do and pressed
y to switch wifi on and then pressed scan automatically. I got a message
saying
no networks in my area, but is that created even if the card isn't working
properly? I'm assuming there are private networks which ui need to find
out ssid
and other settings, how can I go about trying to find out who these
private networks are and finding out if I can join them?
Cheers, Steve
