    does your computer 'see' the router?

    Is your network card a build in one on your motherboard?

    I had problems myself and ended up buying a new network card for €10, unless you like finding the problem it's hardly worth the hassle. Pick up a PCI network card and install it, done.

    My PC is not seeing the router.
    There are yellow question marks on the 'other devices ' in device manager

    +1. I heard that some D330Ms shipped without a driver disk (saw complaints about it elsewhere) so you might be stuck hunting for a driver download :(
