Re: No wireless connectivity at hotspots

Thank you for your reply, Frankster. However, you did not mention where or
how to disable the vendor-supplied wireless configuration. I went to Network
Connections >> Properties and did not see anything.

What this message means is that the vendor of your PC (or wireless card)
has included a utility to configure the wireless network. Only ONE program
can have control over configuring the wireless network. Not two. So, you
have to use the vendor provided program, not the Windows program.

Personally, I always disable any vendor supplied wireless configuration
utility. Most of them have a checkmark to check or uncheck to prevent
their use. After you disable the vendor-supplied utility, you will be able
to use the built-in Windows program to do it. I prefer the Windows
program.

Hi there. How do I configure the wireless settings on my computer such
that I will pick up wireless signals when I visit various hotspots? When
I go to the Wireless Network Connection dialog and refresh the network
list, I get the message that windows cannot configure this wireless
connection and that if I have enabled another program to manage this
wireless connection, to use that software. Yes, I used to connect to the
internet wirelessly through my mom's desktop by virtue of a 2 Wire modem
that was sent to me by SBC Yahoo. However, I think I disabled abled it
somehow when I moved and got a new broadband internet connection. I
really have absolutely no idea where to begin here. Please could I have
some pointers. Thank you.

John
