[shiningkenmonster]

When people bring their WINDOWS wifis laptops. People usually come up to me and ask how do they connect to the wifi. Its usually troubles connecting online.

how do you connect online with the Command Prompt with the ipconfig command line?

I believe there was more than just "ipconfig" and something after it

(I used the following to enable Wifi on my Compaq 762NR laptop with Ubuntu 8.04. There are other variations to the script. This should point you in the right direction. Good Luck)

ipconfig won't do that.

With XP, you have to add a new preferred network through the wireless network properties. It's probably easier to do that in Vista, too.
