Sounds like there may be than one network within reach of your computer. I can see about eleven different networks from my house Wow i just moved from rural prairie acres + to a townhouse on .15 lots in an old section of a city...how can I be sure my security is on? Where do I see other networks? I used my library's wireless printing system (back home), it required a number dot numbedot number type sequence and I had to turn my automatic search for network to for the closest/strongest signal. But then you probably already knew all that. Kristina
