Please help!
My network is using wireless, I have windows ME in the laptop in my department(4.90.3000), I use linksys as my network PC card for my wireless access.
the wireless pc card loaded perfectly fine under the device manager, and I also updated most current driver from linksys website, the wireless pc card won't be able to bond to TCP/IP,(no this item shown under the network properties) thus, I won't be able to enter any entry to configure my network properties, because of that, I won't be able to get into internet. any other part of the configuration is fine. my network is configured as workgroup, no domain is involved.
The" File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks" is checked.(loaded). Any other Windows 98 laptops and PCs wireless in the same workgroup are working fine in our department
My access point connected to the Lan is working fine without problem.
any idea please.

Thanks

When you say that it isn't available under network properties are you saying that it doesn't show up in the window showing installed network components, or are you saying that you aren't given the option of adding the TCP/IP protocol?

You may need to manually add the protocol.
Control Panel | Network | Configuration tab -> Click Add; Choose Protocol and click Add; In the Manufacturer window, highlight Microsoft and choose TCP/IP in the Network Protocols window; Click OK. Windows will probably ask for you Windows CD so have it handy. After adding files Windows will prompt you for a reboot.

After the reboot, you should be able to enter TCP/IP properties and configure as necessary.

Adding a TCP/IP does not automatically bond with wireless pc card after installing the TCP/IP, it has entry listed as "TCP/IP" in network properties, I did that before I put my question on "techrepulic".
any more idea?
