PC shows I am connected but then I get "Can't find server/DNS error" messages when I go to Internet Explorer link. Is this the card or my Pc settings?
Please Help! :mad:

You need to check your routers WiFi settings as it usually is a problem with WEP encryption.
Best way to attack this issue is to disable ALL security, get a good solid connection and then re-enable security.

The way I attack WiFi security is threfold.

MAC address access list
WAP encryption (128 bit)
Hide SSID


I find that this works a treat.
Basically if the AP can't be seen then it presents less of a target.
The MAC and WAP adds more security without slowing access speeds.

I must admit I have only tried WPA once and I ended up locking myself out of the AP, so I stuck with the above method.

Hope this helps.
