When I open the dashboard and click on enable I receive a message that I don't have privelages to do so. Contact administrator.

I am the only administrator according to my user setup. I don't have any other users or guests setup.

Please help so I can get on my network.

What Tablet PC are you on, and does it have a "switch" or toggle button? Is
wireless showing as enabled or disabled in Device Manager?

My tablet is a Motion Computing M1200 purchased thru Gateway. The device manager shows the wireless card working properly and enabled. I even receive a signal show good strength @ 11 Mb. I don't think there is any kind of toggle switch or button.

When you were in Network Connections, did you see several icons for
networking including any description of "bridged"? If so, the devices other
than your wireless networking should be right-clicked, unbridged and then
disabled.

These items may include the dial-up modem, 1394 Net Adapter, MAC Bridge
Miniport and the built-in Ethernet NIC. Once these are removed from
possible bridge condition (see below), you should be able to administer the
wireless.

I would also suggest going into My Computer (right-click, Properties) and on
the Hardware tab, tap the button for Device Manager. Find the Network
adapters listing and tap the "+" sign to expand the listing. You should see
four items in there, including 1394 Net Adapter, Intel wireless, MAC Bridge
Miniport and the Realtec Ethernet NIC. Only the Wireless, from your
description, needs to be enabled. The rest you can right-click and select
Disable from the menu. This doesn't remove them from the system, only stops
them from interfering with the wireless.

Then try these steps:
1 - Tap Start, then Control Panel.
2 - Tap Network and Internet Connections.
3 - Tap Network Connections.
4 - Right-click on Wireless Network Connections.
5 - Tap Disable.
6 - Right-click on Wireless Network Connections.
7 - Tap Enable.
8 - Close Control Panel.

If this still doesn't correct the situation, I would suggest you call Motion
Computing's support section, 866-322-9783, in the U.S. and Canada.
