Thanks!

I am running Windows 98 Plus on my computer. I'm not sure if I've seen the SSID broadcast setting anywhere... where would I enable that, and what would that do? I know that WEP is off, and I am not running any other software that has to do with the network or internet. I have a linksys card, but I'm not sure about the specs. I could tell you that when I go back to my house in a couple hours (I'm on someone else's comp). And the two computers are around 30 feet apart (though there are walls and stuff between them). We moved the AP (router) closer to my computer (before that they were about 40 feet apart) but the signal stayed at 3-4 bars out of 10, which is "fair". I think that I should be able to connect with that much signal, so I'm thinking its something on my end, on my computer. My computer can see the router, but just can't connect to the internet. The past couple years I was connected through my school's network, and I still have my ethernet card. Could settings from that be messing things up?

As an extra bit of info, the computer that is near the modem is wired into the router, and the internet works just fine on that comp.

Hope that helps. Thank you so much for your response!
