Ugh, I was somehow convinced to try one of those wheat grass shots at Jamba Juice earlier today and I've responded by puking a few hours ago and burping and farting grass smells the rest of the evening. A+++ would try again! I feel like poo :(

  • shackhelp needed for a wireless lan problem


    ok, I have 2 computers that I want to connect via wireless lan.
    Number 1 is a new desktop pc with an internet connection and an usb wireless lan card.
    Number 2 is an old windows me (ugh, I know) notebook with a d-link pcmcia wlan card.
    The notebook should be able to connect to the desktop pc and share his internet connection (either with using xp's internet connection sharing feature or with using wingate).
    As far as the hardware installation goes, everything is fine, no problems there (at least it seems so).
    What really sucks, is that win me doesn't have the "show wireless networks in my area" feature that xp has. Is there a way to search for wlans under winme?
    But when I name the network and set up a key for the encryption in the dlink tool on the notebook, the win xp machine is able to see it.
    But when I click on connect, it hangs at establishing connection.
    I am not able to ping the machines or anything.
    I think I can rule out that it has something to do with the quality of the connection because the 2 computers are next to each other atm.

    Any tips? anything I could be doing wrong?
