    Ok so I recently acquired my laptop from work. I know very little about this stuff so, I need some help.My question is, they said I had a wireless card. Is an Intel(R)Pro/1000 LAN Network wireless capable. If it is, how do I set it up on the Lenovo T60?

    In my setting up windows, I believe I chose LAN. is that what I should have chosen if I have Wireless router and modem from Rogers? If that is wrong, how do I go back and change it.
    HELP! lol.

    So you have a Lenovo T60 laptop and you are trying to connect wirelessly to a router?

    Thats exactly what Im trying to do. I can connect by plugging it in, but cant seem to get it to connect wirelessly. I cant even figure out the wireless button at the front of the laptop,whether it is on or off, but it doesnt matter no matter which direction it is in, nothing changes.
    Is the Intel(R)Pro/1000 LAN a wireless card?

    I read that the Lenovo has :
    Support devices Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection
    Intel PRO/1000 PL Network Connection
    Does that mean it supports wireless and non?

    The Intel(R)Pro/1000 is an ethernet adapter, not a wifi adapter.
