Wireless internet is fucked..
« on: August 27, 2009, 11:30:52 AM »
Okay so.  I haven't been on here for quite a while.  My internet went down and I  can't get it to work.  I bought a wireless internet adapter for my Xbox so that's why I can connect t that.  But the wireless network reciever for my laptop broke.  I don't really care about that considering the screen doesn't workl, but my desktop computer I do care about.  So here's the problem.  I just got a Wireless-b wnetwork adapter from my friend (linksys) and I plugged it into my computer and got the lovely "can't find drivers" thing.  Went to my friends house, got the drivers, came back, and installed them.  Now when I plug it in it doesn't say anything.  I assume the drivers are working correctly.  Okay so I go to network and internet connections.  There's nothing to do with wireless internet there.  Just a LAN connection that I don't have.  I have no idea how to get it to see that I want to connect to a wireless network.  I know Wireless-B and G are  backwards compatable.  I think my router is G.  Anywho, Anyone know how to help me?  I thoroughly miss internet.

you're PC should install a wireless adapter to a certain USb slot, so technically you should be able to plug it into a different one and it will install fresh ?

Failing that if you right click on your my computer and goto "Manage" you should have an option in there that says "Device Manager"

Check under your network adapters in there. You will probably find you have one with a red or yellow mark on it, try right clicking that and updating the drivers.

Thats all I can really think of right now
