    Please help me:

    I have just received my t60P, work like a charm, OK with LAN at work
    but it cant find my home wireless router.
    The wireless is switched on and the wireless network configuration
    cannot find any networks when I press "refresh network list."

    I tried both the windows management, and the Access connection scheme - no network found with either.

    I am running XP.

    I am on Verizon DSL with a DLINK wireless router. My other laptop
    (an old Compaq with an ORNICO PCMCIA wireless card) does work OK
    sitting next to it.
    Please someone give some advice.

    Peter

    Wait, are you plugged into your LAN and you want to use your wireless at the same time? You have to choose which one are you going use first.

    Which wireless do you have? Intel's wireless? Or Lenovo's wireless?

    No, I am not plugged in to the wired network. The wierd stuff is that I went to a coffeeshop with
    public wireless access and it worked.
    Also at a friend's house it also worked.

    I have 11a/b/g/n Wireless adapter.

    For some reason it does not pick up the tranmission from the dlink router at home. Wierd. Any ideas?
