Hi,

There is no MAC filtering setup on the wireless access point. Right now, it just has a encryption key.

But it will not even let me get to the point to even try to enter the key.

Thanks

Does the router have MAC address filtering enabled, and if so, have you entered the MAC address of the new wireless adapter into the table of allowed MAC addresses on the router?

What do you mean by the following statement in your first post "When I bought it, the card was there but it did not have a network adapter. SO I found a Cisco adapter and downloaded it, and now I can see my wireless network."

If the card was there, then how can it not have a network adapter?  How can you download an adapter?  Do you mean that you installed drivers for a Cisco adapter to run your Dell wireless network adapter?  Please explain.

Ok, I see now.  In the first post you said it was a 1350 card, which I took to be a Dell 1350 card.

Have you tried setting up the wireless connection manually where you can enter the encryption key before it asks?

I bought the laptop from a friend. I think he said that he had to do a system restore. When I got the laptop, there was basically nothing working. But he gave me a blue disk that was suuposed to contain all drivers that came with the computer.

So I installed all the drivers which got the ethernet working, modems, video, etc. At the end, there was one thing left under network controllers that still had an exclamation point. So I fliiped the laptop over, and the card said Cisco Mini-Pci 350. I found some drivers for that and loaded them, and it immediately started detecting my wireless network.

I thought..Great!!!  But it will not allow me to connect to it as described in the first post.

Thanks for your time and help.

Thanks for replying.

I finally got it to work. I just uninstalled the adapter, and downloaded what I needed from Cisco's website. It seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for your help!!
