Wireless Network Connection Problems
My wife and I have identical Dell Latitude D610 laptops except she has an intell Proset wireless card or connection. My wireless connection says Dell Wireless WLAN card.
She is able to connect to a local wireless network but I cannot (even if we are at the same location a the same time). I am not familiar with notebook technology and do not want to break anything but would it be easy enough to purchase a proset wirless card (or even swap them out ) so I can see if that is my problem in regard to connecting to this network? I tried buying an external wireless card but that did not seem to help. Maybe I did not get a good quality card (it was a basic card with USB connection.) Or is there a way to boost my reception of this network.
What is the best card to get so I might be able to connect to the same wireless network? Any help is appreciated.

Another possibility is to find a techie friend or otherwise that can figure out exactly what wireless cards you are using and what type of networks they support.
From what you say, I gather that you are not a techie and do not work inside your machine. The miniPCI cards are simple enough but the ulta small connectors for the antenna wires require some skill.
You could go with a PCMCIA card but from what I read, they do not work as well.
Good Luck.
