    I have the DV2315NR, with wireless B/G.

    My friend brought over his Toshiba and turned on his wireless, and found a wireless network called "My Network A"... which he was able to connect to.

    I only found "My Network B" which for one reason or another I was not able to connect to, I was not able to find "My Network A."

    What I do see is something called WSU and when I connect to it, it says waiting for other users to connect to your ADHOC network, and the signal strength is all green.

    I wonder why I don't see the wireless network A. I thought it might be the A standard, but from what I understand wireless A is basically unused by any routers........ and it needs plain line of sight in order to function. Furthermore, he was downloading at around 400kbs with it, so I highly doubt its a wireless network A. The other thing is that the B network is wireless G, it only makes sense to me that the network A would be... wireless G or B.. not A....

    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

    And I am trying to leech off someone.. lol.. I ordered a router but I jus want to use wireless for the next few days.. honest. Thanks all.

    Nope, I did not know that.

    In that case, I will not leech off them.

    Now, what do you think the issue is? I don't want to be in an airport (it would be legal there I assume, considering I am paying for it yes) and get shafted like I am now.
