Hi all,
I have a wireless-enabled laptop and want to connect to the Internet wirelessly while at home for the weekend.
I bought a Belkin 802.11g Wireless PCI Card for my home computer to create an ad-hoc wireless network to share my Internet connection with the laptop. I have followed all the instructions, tried using the Belkin Wireless Utility and the Windows "Zero-Config" one, but the PCI card cannot seem to detect ANY networks in the vicinity, let alone it's own ad-hoc one.
The laptop can detect the network, takes a while to connect, but after it's connected, the PC's wireless connection is still showing Disconnected.
Does anyone have suggestions as to what I should do (other than buy a wireless router)?
Thanks,
zerop.
