I just purchased a wireless G-Card for my desktop and installed with no problems. The G-card has detected a connection with my neighbor but cannot establish an internet connection. There are no security passwords or any other blockers and I have a 40% connection. My neighbors PSP (playstation portable) will connect to this internet connection and he can view webpages by my desktop will not. I have followed the LAN settings according to the page that comes up when the internet connection is not established. I used to have DSL but that network connection has been deleted, how can I connect to the internet with this broadband connection? I have a connection established with the router but not the internet. Thanks in advance!
