i solved my own problem i found a braodband network adapter {hardware}, installed it, and internet worked.
hello, i ahve a dell inpiron 530, running on xp, sp3, and i have it directly connected to a high-sppend lan thats is directly connect to our router, and i also have a usb, wireless internet adapter, it is a netgear usb, used to connect to the internet. so heres the story:  a while ago we wanted to make the computer wireless, so we got the usb thing, installed it and great, it works. now, when i want to use lan, and not the wifi, it will not use it. i look in internet connections, and go to status for each, it said this right now: lan:  sent 72 , received 62 netgear: sent: 357,000, received: 586,000   ? then i try to disconnect the usb, by removing it from the computer, and then i try to go to google and it says no connections. and since this is a xp and im used to a win 7(my laptop RIP(it destroyed itself)) SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO LIKE, SET PRIORITY TO LAN, SO I WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO USE WIFI, BUT O NLY WHEN LAN IS NOT AVAILABLE. thx, Bryce
