My wife is in nursing school and one of her friends bought a used laptop (Toshiba) and was having problems getting on the net. So, she asked my wife if I would look at it for her. I am relatively new to this networking, right now. It is to be my degree, but I have not took any networking classes yet.
I bought a Linksys wireless router about a yr ago and after some help from Linksys finally got it up and going. My main PC where the router is at is an HP a1710n running VISTA, my other 2 pcs in the house are a desktop in my son's room and my laptop, both running XP. My wife's friend Diane's laptop is a Toshiba running XP. It has a Linksys wireless card (VER #3) that came with it. I tried the USB fd that has the network setup on it like I had to on my 2 PCs. But when I run it on Dianes, it has an error #678. I tried re-entering the IP address in the prompt window, and it says it can't do this unless it is connected. I have tried everything that I know with no luck. What am I missing?
