[QUOTE="naltoidaddict, post: 970047, member: 26344"] Whoah, easy there ticedoff8! While I agree that is should connect under the original conditions (like all the other systems) I also think changing the broadcast/wep is a reasonable direction in the troubleshooting process. So I broadcast'd the ssid, turned off the hardware addy filtering and turned on wep. No dice. BUT, what I noticed in doing this was not only do I not see my network, I don't see any network, not even my neighbors, which are showing strong on my other boxes. So, fail. I upgraded this mini with a bigger hd and more memory right after I got it a couple years ago and it's been ethernet'd up till now. I can't rule out the possibility that didn't properly hook up the antenna when I snapped it back together. If I recall the antenna snaked around top of the unit and was paper thin. Since I have the manual dexterity of a drunk gorilla wearing oversize mittens there's a good chance I screwed up the reassembly. I'll pop him open and check the connections. I'll post back with results. Truly, thanks for helping me on this. [/QUOTE]
