BlackHawk99,   The wireless adapter I see if the Realtek RTL8185 54M Wireless LAN Network Adapter, which is the usb adapter you are using. It has a dialup modem.   Is everything working? I made a system restore point and have also used Slim Drivers sometimes it helps and sometimes you have a more current version that it wants to install. If you have a newer adapter, in you allow it to install what it thinks is the latest drivers, you could lose some of the newer technology, like My WiFi, available on Windows 7 systems.   Yes, there is no adapter.     Rick
Hi. I sure hope you can help cause this is driving us up a wall. I have provided a service tag below. A friend has an old Latitude C600 running Windows XP Pro that was formatted and we are trying to get it to pick up a wireless router. It has the following in it... 1. mini card... 3com 3C556 (CN-06f553-48361)   2. 3Com Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller 3C920 (3C905C-TX) Service Tag:   Windows automatically found and installed drivers for both devices after the format. We even tried drivers from Dell. We can get a hard wired connection, but nothing wireless. We get TWO Local area connections showing up in the systray... Local Area Connection 3 and 4. The card is detected in the bios. A 3Com diagnostics program (3Com NIC Doctor) from the Dell site says the NIC is ok, but the "Run Network Test" fails... that is obvious if we can't get a wireless connection. So why then doesn't it pick up any router? If the drivers for it are installed and it's recognized in hardware shouldn't it automatically pick up a router? This has to be something really simple that we are not thinking about. As I said I sure hop you can help. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
