I'm sending this again as I don't remember seeing it on NewtonTalk after
sending it last evening. Apologies if you've seen it, but I didn't...
I got this crappy laptop from work which I need to setup in the event I got
production support to do. It is a Dell Latitude D600 with the Dell
TrueMobile 1300, which is a 802.11b wireless card.
I have an ABS that works fine with my PowerBook, but no matter what I did, I
can't seem to connect the friggin' PC on the network. I changed the settings
for TCP/IP for a static address, since all my computers on my network have a
static IP address, I entered all information for the router and the DNS
server, the thing still report that there is no network. The laptop comes
with a control panel named "TrueMobile 1300 Client Utility". This control
panel lets me see and connect to network. I can see my ABS name and
configure it. Still, no network connection. The very intuitive system
reports "Wireless: no network cable plugged".
What am I missing? Friggin', stupid Windows crap!
-Laurent.
