I installed a NetGear PCI Wireless Adapter in my old Dimension L__c. ipconfig does not show a wireless connection. NetGear tech support told me ask Dell how to turn on the wireless connection. I running Windows 2000 Pro.
Did you install the drivers for the wireless nework adapter? Does the wireless adapter show up in Device Manager? Do you have a wireless router? Does the wireless adapter show up in Network Properties?

Try disabling encryption until you get this problem solved.
Sorry about that. Last night, whenver I clicked 'Submit Post', I got the IE 'Cannot display page' error page. I kept trying, think it was an Internet hiccup. I finaly bailed out and went back to the message board. That's when I realized what had happened. I think the problem was AdSubtract.
Great suggestion. The problem was the encryption. Dell router let me use ascii for the key. NetGear adapter wanted hex. NetGear had a field call ParaPhase that looked like an ascii key, but was apparently something else. By entering a hex key in both, I'm in business. Thanks.
