Hi,
Is it possible to use in US/South America a network card purchased in UK?
My Belkin F5D7010 ver 1313UK (on a Toshiba Satellite & Windows XP)
worked fine in London but refuses to work in America.
The network seems to be okay since my wife's Macintosh works just fine.
Any idea/workaround?

Thanks

Hi
I think that the difference is in the channels. Try to set the card on
channel 6.

There are different numbers of channels allowed, but that shouldn't
matter, because the channel is selected by the access point.

Did you set the right radio band ("802.11b only" OR "802.11b and
802.11g") in the "Radio Band Control" property in the "Configure tab" of
your "Belkin Wireless Utility" ?

Yes, 802.11b and 802.11g is selected.

Jack, it's already in channel 6 and tried 11 also. No way, I can't
connect, despite of the fact that it worked fine while in London and the
Mac works just fine.
