Enable wireless?!?!?!?

Postby chromosholmes » Thu Jan 15, 2009 6:23 pm

I'm an experienced user, but can't for love or money enable the wireless connection on my new S10. I've read the materials, scoured the posts, no luck. What in the heck is wrong?

Yes, I've finally figured it out. I forgot to check a box in the Windows WLAN utility allowing me to connect to my encrypted network with SSID disabled. Thanks for your response.

However, I can't access - none of the major service providers can assist because of linux. I am at a loss near to throwing the netbook out the window - please help. Am I overlooking something very simple - also I will need the response in laymans terms as mentioned not tech savy. The company I bought off (online)are also not very helpful. I just want to connect to the internet - please help or the window is being opened! :oops:

Flanagan, I highly recommend you post this problem in the Linux forum on this board. The people there are very Linux savvy and will no doubt be able to assist you.
