MN-500 detecting

I am sure that this has been asked before (sorry in
advance), but I cannot get my linksys pci card to get to
the interent through this router. It seems to have a
really hard with detecting its' settings. The signal
strenght seems fine (I switched channels as suggested by
the linksys tech), but still no success.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Post in a linksys newsgroup.

Well lets look at the name of the newsgroup. It starts with "microsoft"
so that must mean we only talk about Microsoft products. Next it says
"public" so that means any person can post here. Then it says
"broadbandnet" so since this is a Microsoft newsgroup it must be talking
about the Microsoft Broadband Networking. Last but not least it says
"hardware" So that must mean it is the Microsoft hardware for networking
that we talk about.

Thus this is not a general networking newsgroup, but one for the
Microsoft Broadband networking hardware. I'd suggest either posting in
a newsgroup for the hardware you are running, a general networking
newsgroup, or one for whatever version of Windows you are running.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

Sorry after I replied to your post I noticed you mentioned you have a
MN-500. You should have also mentioned that in the body of the post as
most people don't pay attention to the subject while reading the body &
will blow you off or ask you questions that you foolishly answered in a
place where they won't notice it.

What linksys network card are you using?

Which OS is running on that computer?

How far is it from the MN-500 to the computer?

What does the wireless signal have to travel through? (walls, metal,
other dense objects other then air, etc...)

Have you enabled WEP on the MN-500?

What firmware version are you running on the MN-500?

Have you tried changing the wireless channel?

Do you broadcast the SSID? (Disabling broadcast of the SSID is not a
valid form of wireless security, because all wireless packets include
this information without encrypting it.)

Is the linksys card set to run in turbo mode?

Answer these questions & we can help you better.

Yes, this is for a microsoft broadband router...the
linksys people are pointing at the router and not their
card. Teaches me for buying mismatched network hardware

Well you can tell Linksys. NOWAY. I have both and a Microsoft mn500
BAse. I would have bought a damn MS card but Circ City quit carrying it.
I have however a mn520 on other laptop. I have tried everything. No
security, wireless 802.11b with mn520 also 802.11b, and a MN500 for
about 6 mos. THEN last fri morning I went to lap, turned it on, (It
hadnt even been moved) and Nada.

Well they should have been smart enough to ask that question. Just to
make sure I'm correct there is a slab of concrete that the wireless
signal has to go through. Is that correct?

What I'm trying to ask is the following question rephrased.

Is there a slab of concrete between the router & the NIC?

Hey Joker
Ive got my mn520 two feet from my 500 and all it does is wink at me. The
icon in systray has a red x on it. I can connect with ethernet cable.All
of this started all of a sudden. One day it worked until the AM..next
morn at 8 it didnt work. Neither laptop, the other has a Linksys 802.11b. W

I am in a 2 story apartment. The mn500 is on the 1st
floor, with the computer on the 2nd floor. The two are
situated over each other.
