I have had a real hard time getting a USB wireless network adapter to communicate with my router. Been on the phone with both Dell and Linksys for several hours with no luck. You would think this would be a snap?

Dell thinks it is the OS and suggest a re-install. This computer is brand new out of the box so I would get step-by-step phone support.

Any thoughts on whether the OS miht be the problem? Any cautions against re-installing XP?

Thanks a lot!

Can you post the makes/models of the devices.

Can you successfully network using cable connections instead of wireless?

Degsy,

I can connect to router and internet via wire. Am using Comcast cable (not that that should matter).

Linksys USB adapter - WUSB54G
Linksys Router - WRT54G

Thanks,

Cocimon
