I have a Dell C600 that was given to me it had a very small 6 gb HD, so i replaced with a 80gb inserted and managed to load windows XP Pro fine with no problems, the problems occur when i try too connect wirelessly to the internet via card slot,at first it recognized the card and loaded the drivers and managed to browse the internet fine, the following day when i restarted it couldn't find any internet connection and none of the lights were flashing (green/red).
So i did a system restore to new installation and it worked fine !!!, i cant do a system restore everytime i want to connect surely??, do i have something missing somewhere, drivers ??

I even put the old 6gb HD in and it worked fine with no connection errors.

I have since looked in the device manager and found a red mark by the wireless card, if i enable it it loads but suddenly goes off.I dont have the original drivers and software CD downloaded them from there website.

Please help its doing my head in.!!..Thks

Reinstall it, make sure you install the drivers and plug the card in when told to and not before.

Failing that return the card and get a USB stick for a simple fix.

Hi, I have tried that a few times, i thinks its maybe the drivers i downloaded from Belkin, the same card works fine on another system with original drivers downloaded from a disk...that i no longer have....USB one looks like the option.thks
