AtruDiva,

What version of XP do you have on the Mini 10?

What type of security are you using on your network?

In device manager, did you try changing the Antenna Diversity from Auto to Aux?

Start, control panel, system. It should be listed there.

3) i have not but will try changing the Antenna Diversity from Auto to Aux.  How do i change that?

Go to device manager(right click my computer, left click properties, left click hardware, left click device manager) Under network, you should be able to see the adapter you're using. Double click on it, click advanced, then se;ect antenna diversity.

I did changed the antenna from auto to AUX. & restarted.

Yes the wireless is enabled.

Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 registered to me.

It tries to connect as it has been for the past few weeks---can't seem to get a vaid IP address.

AtruDiva,

The article says you need to remove SP3 in order to be able to uninstall IE8. Sounds like a little process.

AtruDiva,

Using any tpe of peer to peer programs?

Try using WinSock XP Fix and see if this correct the connection.

Can't download that WinSock program on my mini 10---will try w/other signal from next door.

Finally---i was lucky enough to snag a signal from the church next door to me which is way weaker than mine.  Now it says that it is connected but i keep getting that stupid error msg---Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage---diagnose connx problems.  Have followed it step by step---still can't get online!
