    Wireless

    I have my wireless up and running at my apartment as well as on my campus but for some reason it doesn't work at my girlfriends place at all (despite the fact that we have the same router). I used Ndiswrapper (sp) and installed the most up to date drivers. Any hints on what I can try to fix the issue, hate having to use XP when I'm at her place....can't get to any of my files

    The first place I would look is in the router itself. If your box is working with a wireless signal somewhere else, then you should be able to connect at her place. I'd check to see if she has mac address filtering enabled, Also, check to see if she has encryption enabled. Is your box running DHCP? Is DHCP enabled in her router? Are you running static ip? Is your ip compatible with the range of ip's in her router? Just some random thoughts to check on... Good luck.
