I am presently working offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, I am able to pick up
a network called etwireless but am unable to get my Dlink card to register
a signall, my icon in the task tray is full green but I show no signal
strength or connection, anyone have an idea how I can logon to this.
Thank you in advance

Is the AP open? Some AP's use MAC access as the security. You can see the
beacon and SSID but the AP won't let you login. If you use Network
Stumbler, it's free, you can see if the AP is WEP protected. If the
security is turned on it'll be more of a challenge to login. It's not
impossible but it definitely makes things interesting.
