What network is Team_C ?

This wireless issue is puzzling me.

 

I am trying to place my brand new E1505 with Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 on my existing wireless home network with another laptop currently connecting wirelessly with D-Link router, D-I524. My network has been proven to be an excellent running network, for more than a year now.

 

I entered all security settings: network ID, network key, etc... in the E1505 because it's a security enabled network. (I have done this many times with other computers). When I attempted to connect to my network, the green Intel wireless icon indicated excellent wireless connection, but the Internet pages were blank. Nothing is coming through the pipe, I would say...

 

I have tried to switch back and forth from channel 6 to channel 11, from WEP to WPA-TKIP but I got no results. Something tells me I have authentication issues. Again I tried to set it up the same way as I had always done so with other computers and I had no problem.

 

Here is something interesting. I found a network named TEAM_C in the list of networks found. First I thought it must be a network that factory created for testing purposes and it should be NOT be working now, but I tried to to connect it anyway. Guess what ? It works. I don't know what network TEAM_C is or who it belongs to, but I was able to connect to it, just like I would have liked to connect to my own network, and I didn't even have to enter any information for it.

 

TEAM_C can not be my neighbor's because my other wireless client, my other laptop, doesn't see it. I suspect TEAM_C is actually my network but for some reason the E1505 sees it as some other name. And why didn't I have to enter security infos ? My router is serurity enabled.

 

I know there is an easy way to find out if TEAM_C is my home network. Just unplug the router and cable modem and I will find out. I will do just that when I get home tonight. But if it's my network, then why does the E1505 sees it as something else ? and why does my router give the E1505 FREE access ?

 

Thank you for any inputs..
