hi all, i just got a hand me down laptop...DELL Inspiron 7000.....i bought a D-Link DFE-690TXD Ethernet adapter....seems to have up to date driver but CANT get online......were should i start.....I think i have all the disk that came with the computer except for the WIN 98......I am using a linksys router and it seems to be OK........the new adapter says....working properly. thanks for your support

I have an older Belkin wireless usb adapter and I worked for hours to get it to work. I kicked myself when I found out it wasn't working because I was only brodcasting wireless-g signals when it only supported B and it doesn't support WAP keys. The other problems I randomly have with it are usually fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.

thanks....i'll give it a try

tried to re-install the device.......says: device not working properly because Windows cannot load the files(ndis.VXD, ntkern.VXD, ndis.VXD) that loads the drivers for the device (code8)

Please insert the windows 98 disk....................BUT i do not have the disk....is there anyway around this?

any ideas????

You'll need the Win98 disk to progress further. You should be able to find one cheap online.

OK i reinstalled the card and drivers........everything looks OK as far as driver up to date.......but i still get the "this page cannot be displayed" error......i have 2 other computers running just fine on an linksys router.
the light on the ethernet card is on........checked settings unless i overlooked something simple.......STILL NO INTERNET........i dont kjnow what is wrong
