ok i just brought a new intel pc, the S-Series.
with no operating system, atm has a trail of wondows vista, (im getting a real copie very soon)

anyhoo, when i use the Ethernet Cable directly from my pc into the modem works fine.
BUT
when im not using it and using wireless and trying to search for any wireless rounters around, i cannot find none, i got a wireless card i think its:
Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0), the 2008 version, theres a 2009 version (update), but every site i go to download they try and rip you off in buying membership and download it!

so round it down
cant find any routers when using wireless, cant find any FREE non riped off updates for my wireless card.. pheraps its not the card, and somthing else, and no no FIREWALL is blocking it.

thanks need super help..

your desktop PC is scaning for wireless networks but it cant locate any?
either your wireless card is a dud or the wireless networks are hidden other than that
i would buy a wireless card that is the same brand as your router
