Vostro 1500 / Unable to connect to web

Hi Jay,

Dell Wireless 1490 card supports the WPA2-PSK security type for wireless connections.  You may delete all the existing wireless profiles from the system and create a new profile with WPA2-PSA security key. Please follow the steps below:

• Open Control panel, select and double click Network Connections.
• Select ‘Wireless Network Connection’, right click it and select ‘Properties’.
• Choose ‘Wireless Networks’ and select existing network in preferred networks, then click ‘Remove’.
• Click OK.
• Then select ‘Wireless Network Connection’, right click it, select and click ‘View Available Wireless Networks’.
• Click ‘Refresh Network List’ to view available wireless networks. Select the correct network which you want to connect, double click it or click ‘Connect’.
• If the wireless network is secured, it will pop up a window asking for the key/password.
• Enter the correct Key then click ‘Connect’, wait for a while, you will connect to this wireless network.

Hope this helps. Please reply for any further questions.

Thanks for the "road map". Unfortunately, I got stopped at the 3rd set of instructions. My setup does not bear any resemblance to what you say I need to do. I am unable to attach a screen shot of what I see under "Wireless Network Connection". Maybe I can send direct to you? Am I missing something. I'm running Win XP SP3 if that helps any.

Hi Jay,

You may attach the screenshot on the forum itself. Below is the screenshot on how to attach files. To reply click on 'Use rich formatting'.

Once you click on the icon, a window will open. Click on 'Browse' to browse the image. Once the file is uploaded, click on 'Insert'

Keep me posted with the information. I will be glad to assist.
