Do this: Start-Control Panel-if not in classic view, change to classic view, then double click on System. In System, click on the Hardware Tab, then click on the Device Manager button. A window will pop up, this is your Device Manager. Now, you should have a list of Hardware which is installed on your System. Browse down the list and look for Network Adapters. Click on the "+" sign to open and read the entries there. If there is no listing for Network Adapters, which there should be as you should have an Ethernet Adapter as the very least, then you do not have any adapters installed. That would be a rare case indeed. Now, the Ethernet Adapter will have either a 10/100 or 10/1000 desription, depending on how new the computer is and if you paid for an upgrade in the Ethernet Adapter. Look for a listing which is not designated as 10/100 or 1000, double click to open Properties and read the desription. You may also have your FireWire listed there, even though it is not really a Network Adaper. FireWire will also be listed in your Network Connections too, why I am not sure, but that is how Windows handles FireWire right now. So, FireWire is 1934 IEE, which is not a Network Adapter. \n\nThe above is the best way to see what you have installed on your sytem. This will also tell you if it is working correctly. When you open Properties, down in the first Tab is a small area which will tell you either "This device is working properly", or "This device is not working". \n\nOnce you know what you have installed you can move forward with using it for Networking. \n\nGood luck and have a great day!

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.

as its centrino i would think you talking about Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless Network card or similar.\n\ni found somthing on the web hope you find it useful.\n\nhttp://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml

Any PCI/66 card will work fine. I have an emonster 550 and used an old AT&T card.\n\nYou can probably find the right kind of card at a computer junkyard dealer, or -- where else? -- eBay.

A black plastic piece....?\nJust plain plastic, no connectors?\nFitted in the side of the computer, in a PCMCIA slot?\nI'm guessing that was a blank, "placeholder" card, just to fill the hole were your network adapter will go, when you get one.  Keeps the dust out.

Give print. It'll show all the printers on the network. Then choose your printer and then ok.

My Friend.. what all my friends above told u is correct if its some other operating system....but in your case you have a XP Home Edition...which dosent support networking...even if you have a network card...it wont be able to function due to the limitation of the Home Edition.Install 98 on both the systems...or upgrade your XP home edition to XP Professional....Cheers

A network card, network adapter or NIC (network interface controller) is a piece of computer hardware designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network. It is an OSI model layer 2 item because it has a MAC address. It allows users to connect to each other either by using cables or wirelessly.\n\nEvery network card has a unique 48-bit serial number called a MAC address, which is written to ROM carried on the card. Every computer on a network must have a card with a unique MAC address. No two cards ever manufactured should share the same address. This is because the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (The IEEE) is responsible for assigning unique MAC addresses to the vendors of network interface controllers.\n\nWhereas network cards used to be expansion cards that plug into a computer bus, the low cost and ubiquity of the Ethernet standard means that most newer computers have a network interface built into the motherboard. These motherboards either have Ethernet capabilities integrated into the motherboard chipset, or implemented via a low cost dedicated Ethernet chip, connected through the PCI (or the newer PCI express bus). A separate network card is not required unless multiple interfaces are needed or some other type of network is used. Even newer motherboards may have built-in dual network (Ethernet) interfaces.\n\nThe card implements the electronic circuitry required to communicate using a specific physical layer and data link layer standard such as Ethernet or token ring. This provides a base for a full network protocol stack, allowing communication among small groups of computers on the same LAN and large-scale network communications through routable protocols, such as IP.\n\nThere are four techniques used for transfer of data, the NIC may use one or more of these techniques.\n\n    * Polling is where the microprocessor examines the status of the peripheral under program control.\n    * Programmed I/O is where the microprocessor alerts the designated peripheral by applying its address to the system's address bus.\n    * Interrupt-driven I/O is where the peripheral alerts the microprocessor that it's ready to transfer data.\n    * DMA is where the intelligent peripheral assumes control of the system bus to access memory directly. This removes load from the CPU but requires a separate processor on the card.\n\nA network card typically has a twisted pair, BNC, or AUI socket where the network cable is connected, and a few LEDs to inform the user of whether the network is active, and whether or not there is data being transmitted on it. The Network Cards are typically available in 10/100/1000 Mbits/s(Mbps). This means they can support a transfer rate of 10 or 100 or 1000 Megabits per second.\n\n///

Go to www.cnet.com and type in the model number of your wireless card.  Many times you will be able to get the drivers there.  \n\nYou can also try going to the Netopia website and looking for their downloads section or support.\n\nGood luck!

TAKE A CROSS CABLE, IF ITS WINDOWS XP AND HAS A LAN CARD. CONFIGURE LAN AND TRANSFER.\nEASIER IF U HAVE AN EXTERNALL HARD DRIVE.

Have you checked for printer and file aharing to be activated when you set up the network?\n\nIt could also otherwise be a firewall issue.\n\nTry the printer sharing thing. it should work
