I have a laptop that has a 1394 Net Adapter on it. I can turn it adapter on,
and it said that it has a 400MB connection, but I cant get in a network hot
spot or get an IP Address. How can I configure it so I can get on to my
wireless network without having to get a wireless card and putting it into a
express slot? Can anyone help me. Just email me @ Scoren_lo***@hotmail.com
when you can.

Thank you for your help.

Sorry, no free email support. Asked here, answered here for the benefit
of all. Your 1394 Net Adapter is a firewire adapter with networking
capability. To join a wireless network, you need a wireless (802.11x)
adapter.
