Wireless doesnt work on XPS 435MT
I just received an XPS Studio 435 and i have yet to get on internet using the wireless card. The computer has 64bit vista installed and uses Dell 1505 WLAN mini card.
I talked with telephone support, which was not helpful at all, and they decided that my card was defective after performing varios dump steps. Anyways the card is replaced now and i still have the same issue.
The issue is that wireless either connects with limited connectivity or local only mode. I tried to disable IPV6, but that didn't help much.
Any help will be appreciated... very sad to see a new system not working properly.

Hi,
I hope you also have connected the "Dell wireless antenna" part of the delivery. At least it is part of the delivery in Germany. Without connecting the antenna no WLAN's are available. First I did not connect it as I normaly don't use wireless (I use powerlan instead). When I wanted to test wireless, no networks are available until I remembered the wireless antenna I had not connceted.
