Need help setting up a wireless network

I've always found that wireless connections are really iffy, especially PCI cards for desktops. When you CAN do hardwire connections, I'd suggest you go that route. You might want to check to see the signal strength if they're losing connection often.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That may be a software firewall. Can you go to the command prompt and ping any web sites?

Oh, by the way: You have no internet. This forum is a figment of your imagination.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
