Need help with Network adapter?
605096
here's what's happening to you right now:\n1st, you upgraded to WindowsXP from either Windows98 or WindowsME...\n\n2nd, your are currently deleting and reinstalling the network adapter's device drivers just to make the network adapter work..\n\nwell, for every problem, isolation is the key...so...\n\n1st, try removing (or uninstalling) the network adapter again...then shut down your PC. open up your PC and physically remove your network adapter from its current slot and re-install it in a different slot.\nusually, WindowsXP will automatically detect the network adapter without the need for a device driver disk.\n\n2nd, if the first option doesn't work, try re-installing WindowsXP from scratch, but before you do this make sure to back-up your data (documents, pics, what-have-you) to a back-up media (e.g. CD-R disc, flash drive, etc.).

try switching the adapters in your laptops(if they are compatible)....if it works in your other laptop you know it's a software issue.\n\nif the above isn't a solution try removing the wireless adapter and rebooting the machine to reinstall. to do this:\n\nclick on start, settings, control panel\ndouble click on system\nselect the hardware tab, then device manager\nclick on the plus sign in front of network adapters\nright click on your wireless adapter and select uninstall.\nreboot your computer and let XP reinstall it.\n\nif this doesn't work then the wireless adapter is defective in which case will need to be replaced.\n\nGood luck!!!

Get a wireless router.  Use the laptops wifi connection.

Install a wireless pcmcia adapter card if not already equipped. Have software to facilitate the usage of said card. Be near a WAP or wireless access point and join the network.

Try a data link cable that should work.You should be able to buy one from the manufacture or a third party manufacture.

NOPE. Win98 doesn't even know that wireless network adapters exist. You would have much better luck with XP.\n\nBut you need to put the drivers on, there's no way around it, sorry.

you may need to install the driver for the Ethernet port on your computer to work. is your Ethernet connector onboard with your motherboard? if so, contact your manufacturer of your motherboard  to get a driver, or ask them who makes the chipset on the board (mostly nvidia or ATI) \n\nif your Ethernet connector is separate or in a computer port (towards the bottom of the computer box) then the default Microsoft driver may work. \n\nOpen the control panel, then go to add new hardware. Have the computer search for recently installed hardware (trust me). It should pick up the device and ask you to install the driver that Windows has for it.\n\nor if you have a disc for that part, better yet..insert the disc and run the setup. It should then install the proper drives for you.\n\nThis Nvidia link may be of help:

Check to be sure you have the correct drivers, that's the most likely cause. Just go to the manufacturer's website and they should have them. If that doesn't work, check to make sure that the network card is seated all the way in it's slot (if it is a card, and not on-board) and if *that* doesn't work it may be fried, and you'll need a new network card.

Depends on if your laptop has USB ports.  If it does then the age of your laptop comes into play. Most Wifi adapters out now require USB 2.0, but some will work with 1.1 as well. Also whether or not your operating system supports WiFi networking \n\nYou can find them at just about any store that carries networking equipment.

bad cable or network card

you need to have windows 98SE or higher operating system.  Then you can definately get a USB wifi adapter or a PCMCIA port one.  The devices come with a driver/software disc, instructions and may have free techsupport.

First you should have 2 ethernet cards (one for ADSL, one for network), then follow the "network setup wisard" of MS Windows XP ... It will help you...

if your computer doesn't have a wireless card, go pick up a wireless  usb adapter.  it's a lot easier to set up than opening your computer and installing a pci card.\n\nhere is an example.\n\nBelkin Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter \nModel: F5D7050\nit goes for about $40, but you can always find a cheaper one from Fry's.

if it only has one output then you need to by a splitter or router, if it has a router built in then you can simply connect them both to it then go into ( assuming ur on windows ) my network places, then set up a new home network

Any model will work, it is just a standard cable connection, the router will have a setup wizard, just set it up to be a cable connection, not pppoe, plug in the computer and away you go...
