Hi,

My apologies for delayed response. Your computer is shipped with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 wireless card. Have you installed the driver for that from the link: http://dell.to/W26TBM ?

If not, please install the driver on your computer and see if it works. Also, please check in Device manager, if there is any yellow exclamation or red cross under 'Network adaptors' or 'Other devices'.

I have added you as a friend. Please accept my friend request by clicking on my name highlighted in blue and then click on “Friends” tab at the top and then click on “Request to Review” and finally click on “Accept” button.

I am sending you a private message as well. Click on “Inbox” to respond to the message and provide system’s Service Tag and contact details so I may access your system records and check for further course of action. You could also click on Start Conversation to send a private message.

Please reply with findings.

Can you run Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and REGISTERED OWNER, if using XP, run an ipconfig /all log and post it back here.

What virus program and firewall are you using?

Thank you , but the problem was solved in fact what I guessed was correct , the wifi adapter was damaged ( not operating correctly ) I had to bring it back to the dealer whom replaced the whole adapter , wondering how a new Dell purchased with a defectuous adapter...!!!
