[Burjo]

G'day all,

My system is a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Desktop.
I'm running Duel Boot with Vista and XP Pro SP3.
I have only just Installed the XP the other day.

The Family has a Desktop Connected ADSL with a 2WIRE Gateway 2701HGV-W that is working fine.

I am using to connect to the net a Netgear WG111v2 Wireless USB with is running off their modem.

using the Bigpond Install CD i got the Vista connecting perfectly, BUT am unable to get the XP Partition to connect at all.

I have also tried using the WinXP setup but no joy.

Is there any outstanding issues with this Driver and XP.

Please let me know what info you need to help with this issue.

Thanks

Burjo.

What are the exact symptoms on the XP machine?


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?

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

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
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.
