1394 Net Adapter and 2Wire Homeport
I have an Inspiron 8200 with a 1394 Net adapter. I am trying to set up a wireless connection with a SBC/Yahoo - 2Wire Homeport. I cannot get the 1394 to connect to the 2wire Homeport
Under "Control Panel/Settings/Network Connections" I can see the 1394 listed under "LAN or High-Speed Internet".
I do not see a listing for "Wireless Connection"
Do I have to enable or turn "on" wireless somehow?

Sorry, the 1394 Connection is for networking over a firewire cable (and is only operating system supported in WinXP and winME), not for wireless networking.
You probably need to buy a wireless card if you do not already have one...

How can I tell if I have a wireless card? I thought when I purchased this computer it was wireless. I cannot locate my origanal invoice to double check.
Thanks, Barry

right click my computer and click properties ... click hardware, then click device manager. click the network adapter entry and tell me what adapters appear under it...
you could also open the miniPCI slot on the bottom of your computer and see if there's a card in it...

The 51xx is a completely different layout than the i8xxx series notebooks.
