Networking a PC to an Apple Extreme

[austinh]

I have been trying to get my pc to connect to my Apple Extreme router. I have a Linksys wireless G card in my PC and I have the drivers installed as well as the software. It doesnt seem to find a signal.
Can anyone help?

Hi
The first thing that I would check is whether your wireless network is set up as a closed network or not, if it is then you would have to give the base station your wireless cards mac address to gain access to the network

What Mbrandonj means is this: Is the airport extreme broadcasting its ID? If not, you will have to manually type the name into the network properties on you PC. A wifi that isn't broadcasting its id is invisible to machines that don't know the name.
