Hi All

I have just been given the desktop above and i installed a new win xp the problem is it works fine with the ethernet cable but not wireless.when opening network connections there is no wireless connection option.when in device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark beside the ethernet controller.also there is a black antenna shaped aerial in the back of the desk top never seen one of them before?am guessing this is the wireless adapter for the desk top?any ideas are welcome thanks

Sounds like there is no driver installed for the wireless card. Have a look here:

Did you get any of the original cds that came with the machine? Might a drivers disc there. There is always the possibility that the wireless card was added later and it might be necessary to open up the pc and have a look at the card.

This might be useful for reference:

The first link I gave you allows you to submit the serial no for the pc to access what drivers are available for it. The second one gives you the spec.

It maybe that the previous owner added the wireless card themselves if so you will have to open the pc and see if you can get the card manufacturer and model no.

Hi Dub thanks a mill

Have a look here:

download 2 seems to work.

Worth a try anyways otherwise yo have to make a choice to pay on one of the other sites. 2.99 doesn't seem too bad as an alternative to paying for a new card.

Hi Dub

That link wont open i have a dell laptop if i got the wireless driver off that would it work thats probably a silly question but worth a shot lol.

Thanks

Which link won't open for you?

And it is virtually certain that a dell driver won't work for you.
