Hi guys, new here, obviously! I'm having trouble with my internet. When I first got my computer, I never had to go wireless. I used a router and went from there. Now, I have to go wireless, and I have no idea whats going on with it.
I have tried every avenue to find a solution and have broke down to finding a forum like this. Hopefully you guys can give me a hand? I think my problem is traced down to the hardware or software for the wireless card.
On the modem itself, the little pamphlet I was able to find, said that if the modem is working a light will be on and if it is active it will blink. I have neither. So I do not know if this means it is broke or if the software is not there for it to work properly.
I have a Dell XPS 420 with windows vista home premium 32-bit. In the device manager, it say under network adapters:
- broadcom 802.11g network adapter #3
- intel(r) 82566dc gigabit network connection
neither of them have a yellow triangle with a ! next to it. I'm all out of ideas, anyone have anything for me to work off of?
