Re: Wifi - newbie question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You need a broadband connection to your home, with a wireless Router or an
"Access Point". Depending on what router or wireless connection hardware
you have, you will need to enable your laptop in your routers setup.
Linksys Routers can be accessed by typing 192.168.1.1 in your Browser
address bar and typing "Admin" in the password field. D-Link access is
192.168.0.1 and typing "Admin" in the User field. Read your setup guide if
your router is different than either of these. You will find your setting
within these setup screens.

Hope this helps,

Doug

I have a Sony Vaio laptop with WiFi. I am having trouble setting up a
wireless internet connection. I have switched on the wireless card on the
actual laptop but do I have to enable it elsewhere in Windows? if so, I
can`t find where. I see no area for wireless connections.

I am a newbie and thanks for any help
