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.

Evil Empire n.: [from Ronald Reagan's famous characterization of the
communist Soviet Union] Formerly IBM,now Microsoft. Functionally, the
company most hackers love to hate at any given time. Hackers like to see
themselves as romantic rebels against the Evil Empire, and frequently adopt
this role to the point of ascribing rather more power and malice to the
Empire than it actually has. See also Borg and search for Evil Empire pages
on the Web.
