Nope, you can connect to any wireless access point that is open, and if secured, only if you have the key. the biggest thing about wireless connection is the software. Most of it is crap and can't keep a signal. make sure wireless0 is turned on and set to auto in its setting. You can find it by start menu, run. Type services.msc and just look for wireless 0. that will make any access point in range show up in the essid list. Also make sure you get the wep key in correct, or you will be able to connect to the router. But not be able to get to the Internet.
i deal with dozens of these every day and its the easiest part of my job.

Hello everyone,



Could anyone on this list that's familiar with wireless cards, with lap top computers, please give me instructions on the following problem.



Whenever I visit my nieceshouse and try to use my lap top computer, I'm unable too pick upany signal. She and her husband are connectedtoo com cast cable. Does anyone know if their's some kind of specific code that they use so that I can have my wireless card on my lap top computerconnect and be able too receive a signal? Also, is this considered illegal?Because if it is, That's something that I don't want too do at any cost. I also experience this same sortof problem when I'm visiting my girl friends house, even though she only livs six floors above me. We both use Verizon as our inter net provider.
