Wireless to Wired
I'm having trouble with my wireless network on the wife's bedroom PC so I connected the wired ethernet cable back up. How can I get the PC to use the wired network when it won't show up in the connections list?
Do I have to remove the wireless PCI Card? XP machine

Re: Wireless to Wired
Just to be sure that I understand you, your wired ethernet connection isn't showing up in network connections?

Re: Wireless to Wired
Correct. All I can find is the Wireless connection. I installed the wireless card because I'm using a 75' ethernet cable and thought the wireless would be faster but I think it's slower.
So do I need to remove the wireless card and reboot the system to make it see the wired one?

Re: Wireless to Wired
Well, it should detect your cable itselfs. Do you have proper drivers for your network card?

Re: Wireless to Wired
I reinstalled windows and the wired connection works fine, then I tried to install the wireless card but it dosen't show up as installed. I tried a different PCI slot and no show again. Could the card have died?

Re: Wireless to Wired
Is it disabled in the bios or something?

Re: Wireless to Wired
Disable the wireless connection and see what happens, maybe it's hiding the wired. Xp does not have the best networking skills

Re: Wireless to Wired
Windows XP doesn't have any networking skills, it's an operating system!
