    Ok Rich

    The Network card is not even installed now so we get it back and we should be able to get online.

    Reminds me Dell usually put it drivers in a Dell folder c:\Dell\Drivers\network or something.

    Browse c:\ and see if you can dind it. Or use search to search for Broadcom

    If you can't find it:

    Here is the driver you need from. Your laptop uses the Broadcom NIC

    http://support.us.dell.com/support/...aseid=R71768&formatcnt=1&libid=0&fileid=93148

    Download this on the Desktop cpmputer burn it to cd or put it on a floppy.

    Try that and get back to me.

    When the PC starts up, the found new hardware bubble appears. "Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection "
    OK, I've rebooted, what now?

    This is taking forever. Lets quit for now.

    Let me see if I can research this issue and compose a detailed procedure offline and post to you later. Instead of 1 step at a time.
