Do you see the network when you look a wireless setup?

Just a side note that if you are running XP service pack 2, there was an issue with wireless connections(limited or no connectivety) which has been fixed in a patch. I know this because my friends system used to work then a couple months after installing update it started having problems. Installed the patch, unfortunately I do not remmeber the #, but it fixed the problem.

Thanks

First...you need to locate where is the problem.You need to check the device manager of in your "systeme property" and make sure that the device is identified by your systeme. But you've probably checked this allready. Then, if it is, you need to make an "ipconfig" in your windows command prompt. I don't know exactly wich ip adresse your card should pull from an blitzz router.But I know that the blitzz router has an ip adresse of 192.168.1.254 it shows up as your "default gateway" a couple lines below the ip adress.Witch means that you're pc should pull up a similar ip adresse :192.168.1....If it does...you should type "ping 192.168.1.254"(Note i've noticed that sometimes the router's ip is changed to 192.168."2".254.You'll see if it is the case once you check the ipconfig(in command prompt). If the "pinging" results by 4 replies and no loss...it means that there is connection between the pc and the router. If so try pinging an website adress (

http://www.....com).If

you get replies. Try shuting of your firewall...if still no connection...there should be some missconfiguration in the router...but anyway...you will find the problem before you get this far.There are chances that you've allready done all this. IF no go ahead and try, it doesn't take much. If you need more details, or more help.just ask...
