Enabled but not connectedI am new to wireless, so please excuse my ignorance. I have a Ralink
wireless lan card V2 in my Pacard Bell Laptop XP OS. I can't seem to get the card to connect. It is enabled but not connected. I have repeatedly tried to fix it in the device manager. I have removed it and reinstalled 33 MB of new drivers that I downloaded using driver detective. Could someone walk me through this? JPC John Callaway wrote:

If there's security, what is it (WEP, WPA or WPA2)? My guess is the network may be WPA or WPA2 protected but your laptop wireless card does not support WPA/WPA2 security or your Windows XP does not have WPA2 patch installed. Hi
