Hello,

I've got a Windows ME desktop and and a Windows XP Pro laptop. The laptop
can access our wireless network fine, but the ME machine has numerous
problems. I installed a Belkin wireless card in it once we went wireless,
but have the time it can't find the network or sees it but won't join (all
the while the XP laptop has no problems). Am I missing a setting somewhere
in ME?

Mark

Workgroup name for ME is the same as for XP? It's just not getting a
wireless connection? Did/does it work fine in wired mode? What have you done
to troubleshoot so far?

You might also get a bigger response (it's a lot more active) in the XP
Network_Web group.
