my laptop has no trouble getting wireless, but i am at my parents a long time for the holidays, and they have no wireless. but i figured i could just attach the modem to my laptop instead of to their computer. that doesn't do it though. i had this problem recently visiting a friend too. so i feel i must have some weird setting or something on my computer. its a dell vostro 1500, Intel Core 2 Duo T5270, 1.4GHz, 800Mhz, 2M L2 Cache
thanks for your help. |

got latest motherboard drivers?
you may need to setup the connection? does it make a dingling noise when you put it in? |

don't know what latest motherboard driver is. bought laptop new 10 months ago, so whatever came with it then.
tried disabling, enabling, repairing- is that not setting up the connection? no dingling noise. |

Motherboard drivers have nothing to do with this.

Just connect the modem to your PC using a RJ45 cable and that should work, you might have to reboot the machine and modem a few times.

Very rarely have motherboard drivers been released which did not allow the ethernet port to work.
