His router says it's broadcasting. That is, wireless operation is enabled and "hide SSID" is disabled. Also the wireless activity LED is blinking.
b) His router is turned off.
Nope.
c) His router is defective.
Possible.
d) His router uses a different wireless standard (e.g. 802.11a)
Nope. b + g mixed mode
e) Your wireless card is not installed.
Nope.
f) Your wireless card is defective.
Possible.
g) Your wireless configuration software is defective.
Not likely as I hust downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Linksys.
h) His antenna or your wireless card are covered with aluminum foil.
