alright... i have the wireless-g router working on my computer... and i have the pci g-antena on my wifes computer... but it seem that i cant get the antena installed right on her computer and it wont let me search of a signal, the only thing that itll let me do is exit the moniter?? anyone know what i could do or know what im talking about... any help would be great! btw... its a linksys router and antena...

lol

how am i supposed to post a screen shot on a computer that isnt even connected to the net... ill try to explain it...

theres a moniter that is installed along with the antenna... it lists the wireless connections that you can connect to... under that list is "refresh", "connect" and at the bottem of the page is "exit" and "help"... off to the right side of the list is an "easy configure" button...

now usually a finger would show up over something you click on... and the only thing it shows up over would be "exit"...

ive installed and uninstalled the drivers 3 times already...

hmm...

i wonder...

when you say "pci g-antenna" are you referring to a PCI wireless G network adapter? if so did you properly install the software before installing the card into the motherboard? is everything physically connected on the card, i.e the little black antenna? i run a wireless networlk on 4 computers in my house so i've run into probably every issue you can think of. a screen shot would be great as mentioned before.

i bet its the fact that i installed the adapter b4 the software...

guess ill have to take her apart and start from the beginning... eh?

also... how do i get my router to work with zonealarm? or do i even need zonealarm now that im behind my cable modem and the linksys router?

you might want to give it a try.... seems like all other options are exhausted.

and i also run zone alarm on all my machines, didnt need any special setting for wireless.

try other ports on the motherbord. you should have 3 slots to play with on a "normal" PC bord.

it did almost the same thing minus the monitor action.
so I simply moved the card around and of course, each time I unintalled the software drive and reinstalled it.

give it a try mike
