wild_eyed

im using a friends laptop, and its right beside mine, and he can see our wireless network but i cant, the adapter in my targa is 802.11g minipci wireless network adapter
its set to station mode, which i believe is correct, can anyone help, im sure its a settings issue but maybe its not, i cant see where on the pc the wireless receiver is and it tells me in device manager that its installed corectly, it came installed with the laptop.

any help much appreciated.

Has it ever worked before?

Is there a switch on the laptop to turn/off wlan?

If you manually assign the SSID can you get an ip from the AP?
