Re: Wireless Internet Connection

i used the reinstallation cd for windows xp professional which came with the
laptop and formatted everything on the laptop and reinstalled Windows XP
Professional. I also have the drivers and utilities cd which also came with
the laptop but when i put this in it says that the setup is unable to
recognise this computer as dell and will now exit

any other suggestions please?

Hi People

I hope someone is able to help. I was having problem with my laptop with
applications so i decided to format it and install Windows XP again, which i
have been able to do. Problem i am having is that i am not able to connect to
my wireless connection and the wizard is not helping.

Could someone please assist me with connecting my laptop to my wireless modem?

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and my wireless modem is Netgear

PS thanks for your help in advance.

How was Windows XP re-installed? If it was re-installed from the
Windows XP recovery partition on the hard drive or from a recovery
cdrom, then verify that wireless has been enabled in bios setup. If
this does not resolve the problem, then locate and/or download the
wireless modem drivers and install.

OTOH, if Windows XP was re-installed from its own cdrom, then make
sure that all of the required drivers have been installed from the
utility cdrom that came with the laptop.
