Lattitude E6400

I just purchased a used E6400 that was used in a business. The laptop shows "Wireless", but the only thing it recognizes is "1392". What do I need to do to recognize "Wireless"?

Bob

    Hi Bob

    There is no such thing as a 1392. Do you mean the Firewire port?

    Hi Bob,

    Please share the operating system installed and paste the screenshot of ‘Device Manager’ with ‘Network Adapters’ expanded. Please follow the steps below:

    • Press ‘Windows’ key + R on ‘Desktop’ screen
    • Type ‘devmgmt.msc’ in run box and press ‘Enter’
    • Click > sign next to ‘Network adapters’

    Please let me know where exactly getting the 1392 option for connection.

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

    I'm sorry, that should have been '1934'.

    You need to read ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/Common/latitude-e6230_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf

    There is no such thing as a 1934 either.

    Heelo Amogh;

    I did as you sait and 'Network Adapters' only showa 1934 net adapter.

    going a little further, 'Other Devices' is all yellow

    also under 'Secure Digital host controllers', there is a second 'SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller' that is yellow.

    By the way I should mention I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 Instead of Vista.

    I think he means 1394....which is Firewire.

    Plus there's 3 flavours of the E6400 so we could be here a while.

    I asked him whether he meant 1394 in my very first post, but he insisted he has a 1934.

    I got out my magnifier and found it was a firewire port, 1394, but I don't know which flavor. How can I find out?
