Wireless Network Card?

[Goosey_J]

Might just be me being a plonker but...

My WAN card doesn't seem to want to work. Attached all the ariels to it and whatnot, but when I ask it to search for my router it tells me to plug an ethernet cable in. Is there an on switch for it somewhere and I'm just being daft?

 

[Goosey_J]

Also my order number for reference is 367065

install software for the card!!!!!!

 

[Goosey_J]

I am really stupid. Cheers Len.

its cool mate enjoy that PC I can see you now hopping around the pc with a big grin putting them cables and discs in

 

[Goosey_J]

Ugh. New problem. I put the CD in, choose autorun, the menu of the installation program loads up asking me to select a language, I press english, and then nothing. The CD drive just makes a weird noise repeatedly.

edit: you did open the PC and take out the padding?

 

[Goosey_J]

[Len]

[Goosey_J]

No padding. If I had any erb I'd be enjoying some right now trust. Right the disk is reading now but I've got no idea which bloody make of wireless card it is. This is far harder then it should be!

Check out device manager,but windows should have detected new hardware if software isnt already installed.

 

[Goosey_J]

Fixed the issue. Thought I was going crazy lol, couldn't see the device in the device manager so rang up the PCS hotline and the dude said the wireless card had probably come dislodged in transit. Which it had. Drivers were already installed and the PC is now on the internet! Hooray!

You spoke to me - Happy Xmas mate

I blame the councils. They complain they have no money and so need to increase our rates, it's hardly surprising, they spend all the money on paying their employees double time to install speed bumps on Sunday evenings....don't they know peoples' new PC's are in the back of them vans!
