Hello everyone,

I certainly hope that someone here can help me out. About two months ago I purchased a ORiNOCO 11a/b/g ComboCard for my Dell laptop 600m. I was also using an external antenna via a pigtail connection. For about a month it work wonderfully and never reinstalled the card that came with/inside my dell. One day the card just stopped picking up any APs. Even the ones it used to see day in and day out from my home.

Now when I try to use the card, nothing shows up in NS and the two LEDs on the card (Network and Power) alternate on and off. Out of a suggestion I did a clean install of Windows XP and reintalled the card, but only ran into the same issue. I then uninstalled the ORiNOCO card and installed the internal card. With that card in place, NS came alive and I was able to see some of the networks (not as many as with the ORiNOCO) that I saw before.

I hope some of you may have some suggestions for me to resolve this issue, so that I may get the card back up and running. Any help would be highly appreciated and if I could supply any addition info on my end, please let me know.

Thanks ahead of time!

JT
