Comment: Hi there. I'm not very experienced in networking so please excuse the vagueness of this question. I recently purchased two wireless network cards (PCMCIA style). I have installed the card into 2 laptops, one runs XP and the other Me. The cards and drivers were sucessfully installed and I am getting a 'connection present' symbol in XP. However, the cards don't want to 'see' each other!
I have set up a peer-to-peer network with the setting ad-hoc enabled (computer to computer). I just can't get any connection between the 2 systems.
Any ideas, thanks in advance.

Reply: (edit)quoted from http://www25.brinkster.com/ChicagoTech How to fix wireless connection issues 1. Make sure all wireless devices are using the same mode, infrastructure in the most cases.
2. Make sure all wireless devices have the same SSID.
3. Make sure all wireless devices have the same WEP encryption settings if you have enabled them.
4. Make sure you have added the wireless MAC into MAC Address Control if you enable it.
5. Use ipconfig and ping to test the connection. All wireless devices must be in the same IP range. For more tips or information, go to http://www25.brinkster.com/ChicagoTech Robert, MS-MVP/MCSE and CNE
