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.
