Oops...
This user bought a Wireless Access Point 802.11a and a
USB Wireless Adapter 802.11b
Here's why they won't work together.

Still open:
Wireless recognises router but cant ping
How often does this happen... everyone else can get the
system to work, but you can't. If you can figure out why
this user can't hook up to his wireless network, you'll be
doing him a great service.

 Recently, we've probably all gotten an email that purports to be from PayPal, asking us to update our account information. Don't do it. It's a worm that displays a series of forms, and then sends the information (including credit card information) to specified email addresses.You can spot the email easily enough. First, it has an attachment named either "InfoUpdate.exe" or "www.paypal.com.pif". Second, the subject field will say something like "IMPORTANT" followed by a random string of characters. Third, when you move your cursor over the body of the email, the entire email will be a link -- not just the text which appears to be a hyperlink. For more information, please see Community News or Symantec's website.
