we just set up a wireless network here and my card is not picking up that there is a wirless connection available...we tried another lap top and it shows that there is a wireless connection available...i was at a bar that had a wireless connection and it could not pick it up there either...but at other locations like airports or my school, it shows that there is a wirless network available...can someone tell me why some places it picks up a wireless connection and others it doesnt? what can i do? thanx!

if its the same protocal 802.11g it should come up, if its like a tmobile hot spot it would take a proprietary card to connect, any wi-fi enabled network should pick it up if your using a standard card, wireless software is not so good on pc's and can be unreliable, so that could be it too, get a mac, i wonder why people like dealing with all these cpu problems, i guess cause these crappy pc's u folks use are like 300 bucks, but shyt just spend 1500 and get a cpu that works and you will be much happier and spend much less time cleaning the drive, maintaining, fixing and all that other crap you guys like to deal with,
