Yes, you do! I just didn't want to inflict Windowsness on you. Plus I thought the housemate could fix it, but... not so much.
This isn't a USB card though, so it can't be that. I even thought of that, I remembered you mentioning it. What I have is a Linksys Wireless G model WPC54G ver. 3 And it seems to be able to 'see' the neighbor's wireless, but not ours (the router for which is sitting on the desk not 12 inches away from it!) And even though it can see the neighbor's if we try to access it, it says it can't. We thought at first we had the MAC address in wrong but it's not, we reentered it several times to be sure. Then we disabled MAC filtering and it still wouldn't work. We tried deleting and reinstalling. We tried rebooting. We tried setting up the wireless connection manually. Nothing seems to work. Gah.
