Wireless set up

dergo · 2005-07-19 12:53:56

I basically haven't a clue about wireless but i recently got a new laptop with it and it detects eircomnet1125 wireless network. When i try to connect to it says its connected but at a very slow speed so i may not be able to access the internet which is true. How is it picking up this network and how can i connect properly…

It could be a wireless AP, but more than likely I'd say it's an eircom DSL customer with a wireless router. Connecting to this network without the owner's permission is illegal. If you can't connect to it, good.

I know, it's a shock. I'm not sure if you could be done for it. By default Windows XP will connect you to any network it finds, but I guess ignorance is no excuse.
