    [ :(] Recently bought this with 512 MB ram. Works fine. But it doesn't seem to connect wirelessly. It comes with 802.11b pre installed. Tried re installing the drivers.

    Any help would be fine. Thanks.

    We may be able to help you , but we need more information to start with.
    What kind of wireless router or AP are you trying to connect to and what settings are you using for it?
    How is the wireless card in your notebook setup? do the settings match what the wireless router's settings are that your trying to connect to? What kind of error messages are you getting? Have you tried reading and following the instructions that came with the wireless router or AP your using?
