I purchased a Netblaster II PCI card and it comes with an external antenna on a 4 foot cable. Unfortunately I can't get it to work on the old machine I bought it for.

Most, not all, but most desktops are located under a desk, against the wall or in some other out of the way place. This tends to place the PC "box" or other office furniture between the antenna and AP. Not the most optimal position. And because it is part of the PC, it is not easily repositioned to better reception. Why give yourself that kind of headache?
