Help Connecting Wireless LAN Card

The router in use will have no bearing on WZC working or not working.

Since Vista uses the new Native WiFi API, the only place you'll find WZC is XP, so it should be easy to deduce what version of Windows is in use, right?

Right... now its telling me that DNS and key ports aren't workin..

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

Well, there is no wireless network hardware that is recognized by Windows in that IPCONFIG.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type devmgmt.msc

Please respond to all the following steps.

1. Under Network adapters, please tell me all the devices listed.
2. Are there any devices under Network adapters that have a red x displayed?
3. Also, are there any devices anywhere in the Device Manager display with yellow ? or ! displayed?
