first you need to make sure the card is enabled, even when disabled the light will be on showing the physical connection. Second, make sure you are set to automatically receive an ip and dns address. third, go into your linksys and make sure MAC filtering is not turned on, if it is you either need to add the mac address of your new machine or turn mac filtering off. if by chance this is a wireless connection then you need to make sure you have put in the correct Encryption key. Also check under your device manager, make sure the network card is correctly installed, if not then this is why it aint working, finally after all of these things have been checked and everything is good, goto your command prompt and preform a loopback test. You do this by pinging local host ( ping localhost or ping 172.0.0.1)\n\nif this fails your network card is bad.

If its giving out a problem like .DLL library not found, try installing it in safe mode with networking. It worked for me.

browse to your linksys through your web browser - login...click on the security tab - on the line that says firewall protection - click on disable...but uhh...i wouldn't recommend that you do that...

You were told the wrong things when you bought the router.\n\nYes, if you want the entire thing to work wirelessly you'll need to buy a wireless NIC.

I suggest going without the CD. Assuming that you have a fairly new computer (later than 2000) and have XP, then your computer shouldn't need anything from the CD. \n\nXP's wireless controller should let you do everything you need to, and the CD will just install software that does the same thing + (most vendors do this) report usage statistics back to Linksys. Plus, it would be one more program slowing down your startup and using computer resources.\n\nTHEN if it doesn't work, try the vendor CD, but again you don't need anything from the CD. I run a router here at home and at work without using the vendor's CD and it works perfectly (probably better because I don't have extra programs fighting for control over the router).

What version of windows are you using? Do you know if you have Windows Service Pack 2? If not, that is probably what's wrong - download the latest Windows Updates from the Windows Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/)\n\nDo you know if your computer is set to automatically connect? To check, do the following:\n\n1) Go to Start menu ---> Settings ---> Network connections (Or alternatively, Control Panel ---> Network connections)\n\n2) Right click on the connection that is connecting to the router, and select 'properties'. You should see a list of protocols - like, TCP/IP and Windows File and Printer Sharing.\n\nClick the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selection, and hit 'Properties'.\n\n3) You SHOULD see that 'Obtain an IP adress Automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server addresses automatically' are both selected. If not, select them, and press ok.\n\n4) Once this is done, try unplugging/reconnecting your wireless card, if you can.\n\nIf none of this works, there could be a number of reasons:\n\nYour computer is too far away from the receiver.\nYou need to update your Windows to the latest version.\nIf you are using a router, the router may be encrypted.\nYour network card could be faulty.\n\nI'd suggest finding someone that knows about computers and networking that lives nearby to come and help you with it all. You can only explain so much on the Internet!

Can you still connect to the router (usualy on 192.168.1.1) ?\n\nIf you do, look if the modem is on.

Well, the biggest problem when your computer gets wiped is that all the drivers that had been installed need to be re-installed so try that first and formost, if you have a CD that your network driver/modem/hub came with then you should install the drivers off those.\nIt depends, i'm sure I can help if you tell me more about your network, and if you could find out where its going wrong?

So, your computer has built in Wireless correct?\nHow about the "recieving" end....is there a Wireless Router?\n\nIf you have both, and you have installed the software for your wireless on your Dell, then you have to make it "CONNECT" before it will work....In the lower right hand corner should be a "mini-icon" that when you pass over it with your arrow it should state "wireless"....Double click that icon.....\nWhen the icon opens into a page, there should be a CONNECT button somewhere....Click it....\n\nI could give more details, but I don't know what BRAND the wireless network card is, and what BRAND the Wireless NETWORK ROUTER IS.....Personally, I use Linksys router and Linksys Wireless Card.....All I had to do was have the Wireless Computer CONNECT using the Connect button.....

Try to get in to your router page again. Just launch Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1. The username is <blank> and the password is "admin". If you're using a DSL connection, look for internet connection type and change it to PPPOE.  Type in the username and password provided by your ISP. If you don't know what it is contact your ISP.\n\nIf you're using a cable connection, under <Setup> click on the subcategory <MAC Address Clone>. Click on <Enable> and then click on clone your PC's MAC. Then click on <Save Settings>. \n\nIf these steps does not work, turn off your modem,unplug the router from the power and turn off the computer as well (the one directly connected to the router. After powering off everything, wait for 20 seconds and then turn on the modem first. Wait for the lights to go stable and then power up the router, wait for 15 seconds then turn on the computer. \n\nIf this still won't work try to call up linksys.

You did not say what operating system the problematic desktop is running, nor did you say how you connected the Linksys adapter to it (is it an internal PCI card? a USB adapter?). But I am going to assume that the problem desktop is running Windows XP, and I also am going to assume that the card is an internal (PCI) card. I also do not think that the age of your desktop has anything to do with your current problem.\n\nSince you say that the desktop is seeing other networks (two others besides your own), at least we know that its WiFi card works. Here's what I think you should do:\n\n1. Uninstall the drivers for the WiFi card from your desktop.\n\n2. Shut down the desktop, unplug it from the wall, open up the case, remove the internal PCI WiFi card from it, put the cover back (you don't have to screw it down just yet), and then the replug the machine into the AC power and boot it up.\n\n3. Get the CD that came with the desktop's WiFi card, and prepare to follow the instructions on there to reinstall the WiFi card into it. Some WiFi cards ask you to install the software before you physically install the card, others reverse the order. You just follow the instructions as given.\n\n4. After you have properly installed the WiFi card's software, and you have once again physically installed the card into the machine (i.e. you've turned off the PC again, unplugged it from the wall again, opened up the casing again, inserted the card into the PC again, closed and screwed down the PC's cover, and replugged it into the wall and booted it)...the next thing to do is to make sure that the desktop's WiFi settings are the same as that of the Linksys router. The CD that came with it should have software that will enable you to find out exactly what the settings on the router are: What channel are you using? What type of security have you enabled, WEP or WPA? What is the security key? They have to be the same as that of your router so that your desktop can properly connect through it.\n\nYou could probably use the notebook's settings (since you say that it works perfectly) to use on your desktop -- at least the channel and WEP/WPA settings I mean.\n\nBy making sure that the settings are correct, you should also make sure that your network is the default network to connect to. Often when you set up a wireless network, you pick up the signals from neighboring networks. The software that comes with your router/WiFi card should enable you to set it so that your own network is the one that your machines should try to connect to first. \n\nIf you are running Windows XP, on the desktop, try double-clicking on the little network icon in the System Tray (which looks like two PC monitors one on top another). This should bring up a dialog box. and click on the "Properties" button. This will take you to a dialog box that describes the properties of your WiFi card. There should be a tab on that dialog box labeled "Wireless Networks", and if you click on it, it will list all the available WiFi networks in your vicinity. The "Use Windows to configure my network settings" should probably be checked on. Take a look at the "Available Networks" and "Preferred Networks" boxes there. Most likely you will see all three networks in each box. Rearrange the order of them (using the "Move Down" button in the "Preferred Networks" box) so that your home network is at the top of both lists. In the "Available Networks" box, be sure and click on your home network's name, and then push the "Configure" button. This will take you to another dialog box in which you can now enter your networks WEP/WPA setting information.\n\nOh, one more thing, I should have mentioned this before: be sure and change the default name of your network to something else. Also, most wireless routers have a web browser based configuration screen; when you get there be sure also

Ok, a few steps:\n1. Try connecting the modem to the computer. If u are unnable to connect to the internet the the problem could be youre modem(mo signal or hardware malfunction) or the cable you are using\n2. If step 1 succeds (and youre connection is ok) try connecting your modem to the router, router to the computer, access the router from youre computer (it mostlikely has a web interface accesable by a private space address - check the routers instruction manual to see it's default address and what address you should use for youre computer) and try to configure the wan interface on youre router....If that fails hmmm..I never got to that but come back and we'll try more :D

Buy a Wireless PCI Card and a wireless router if you don't have one. I recommend Linksys.

your ethernet port may be bad or maybe you need to reinstall your network drivers
