need loptop to work on wireless

BillScarab

Go into control Panel, then network connections. What can you see in there?

If there is no wireless connection showing go to Control Panel then Wireless Network Setup and use the wizard to set it up.

Apologies if you've already done this.

BTW I'm posting from a D600 and the wireless works fine on mine.

Bill, Does Fn+F2 toggle wireless off, or is it just bluetooth?

the manual says "radio signals including wireless"

So, they both have yellow question marks at the side?

Did you install XP yourself? If there are question marks, you probably need to download the correct drivers from the Dell Website.. Put you tag no in, and look for network adapter drivers.

If you have any other ? marks, you will need to download the correct drivers for that device, so when finished, there should be no question marks in the device list.
