Do I need to search for drivers? Or Ive read on another post it might need a wifi card

Its a Packard Bell iGo, Mobile AMD ATHLON XP, 1800 + processor, 1.50GHZ, 224mb of ram

Thanks

(Ive tried network settings on it, adding new etc, but it only seems to be happy connected to the ethernet cable currently....)

Look inb Device Manager under Network Adaptors to see if you have a wireless adaptor

It appears I don't have a wireless adapter under network adapters. All that appears is: VIA Rhine 11 Fast Ethernet Adapter.

I also have a wireless network setup wizard, but I tried this the other day and nothing happened....

Any ideas? Do I need to get a wireless card for this laptop so? Is it something I can do myself?

If it has an internal slot, you can probably find a internal card on eBay . . otherwise, you can use a USB wireless adaptor like this:

Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Networking, Wireless Networking, Wireless Adapters, Netgear Inc., USB 2.0.
