Re: DI-524 and Cantenna

I'm talking about the wireless adapter on the PC, not the wireless router.

Thanks.
But it does't appear there. It's just a router ... why would it appear in
Device Manager ?

Can you see the wireless adapter in Device Manager? Try uninstalling and
then
reinstalling.

Under Control Panel / Network Connections, there is just an icon for my

wireless connection here.

That's the problem ... no such icon on my desktop PC's systray.

I know where it is on my laptop's systray, but my problem is with my
desktop
PC (connected by the LAN cable to the DI-524). How do I make the
desktop
PC
aware that it (theoretically ... at this point) has wireless
capability
via
the DI-524 ? It's like the desktop is missing some program (that the
laptop
has), that generates that Available Networks icon.

Click your PC's wireless Icon in the icon tray, choose View
available
networks/Change advanced settings. Click the wireless Networks tab
and
Add a Preferred Network Also choose appropriate settings in
Advanced.

I use the D-Link as a broadband router for my home network (3
desktop
PCs)
... and to occasionally (wirelessly) connect my laptop to my home
network.
Recently I bought a Cantenna ... and I would like to play with it
to
see
what sort of signals my desktop PC(s) can get from my 10th floor
location
downtown.

Question: the computers on my home network are not aware of any
wireless
signals. How do I configure WinXP and/or my DI-524 so that my home
network
"sees" other wireless signals ... the way my laptop can ?

I have googled the question but not come up with any specific
answer
...
either on D-Link's site, the Cantenna site, or anywhere.

Thanks for any help !
