    Linksys PCI card Hates me!
    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.
    1. MAC address access list
    2. WAP encryption (128 bit)
    3. 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.
