bigway 4 #1 March 4, 2008 My desktop does not have a wireless connection network. Why not and how do i get one? I have just bought a wifi network adapter and it arrives tomorrow, however in my xp control panel it says i have a 'wireless link'. Am i missing something? So when i plug my adapter in how will it pick up a wireless signla if it does not have a 'wireless network connection'? What am i missing here? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

tilley13k 0 #2 March 4, 2008 I have a wireless adapter for my PC. The one you bought should come with some software that will allow you to view and choose available wireless networks. Instead of xp controlling the wireless network connection, the software package will be in control of the wireless network. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #3 March 4, 2008 XP has capabilities built in to control wireless adapters but you're probably better off using any software that comes with the adapter to control your wifi settings. Vista on the other hand appears to have better wifi support built in. (at least from what I've seen) btw: Vista also appears to be able to handle bluetooth better then XP does.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...
