Re: Network Connections... Help!!!



I don't think this is a problem with the Thinkpad either... or at least I hope 
not.  Okay, when I'm at my client's office, I connect to their Novell server 
(IPX) and sometimes dial up my ISP (TCP/IP).  I don't have a problem with 
this configuration on my 755CX as I can still retrieve my email and stay 
connected to the server for printing, etc.

However, when I boot up the 760ED with the network adapter plugged in, it 
doesn't even see the network to begin with.  I can later of course, dial up my 
ISP and continue on my merry way.

I just think that something in my configuration is screwed up but I have no 
idea as to where to even begin looking.  It must be just an oversight of mind 
but I can't figure out what.
