Did you make sure his network card was installed right. Right click my computer and make sure it is installed .

Has, nic is installed properly.

What i don't understand is why the link light which shows the connection is not on.

It should be on, if the hardware is detected even before we do any settings right?

Ok! thanks for everybody helps....after days of trying. Realised that the cable is fault after borrowing one working one from another neighbour.

Now I have another problem....with W2k Profiles.

I am using wpc11 pcmcia card on my notebook. when with adminstrator log in, the card can access the AP.

But when log in as another standard user profile, the card is stated active but no link...why ??
