Hey guys. I just recently reformatted my dimension 4550, and my internet is not working. The service number for my computer is 64Lpz11. I have a 802.11 b/g, 54Mbps wireless USB Adapter inserted into the back of my computer, and, for the life of me, i cannot find the right driver to get my internet working. Please help! I`ve done the same thing for my other computers as well, and the drivers worked, but i guess that maybe because those other computers were connected directly to our modem.
[SOLVED] Problem with network adapters

Re: Problem with network adapters
Are all the Dell drivers installed.
Dell Support Drivers
Open Device Manager and post any driver errors.
What brand is the USB adapter? Once you know this you can find the driver from
the manufacturer website.
If cannot find post the hardware id for the device

Re: Problem with network adapters
Yeah, i downloaded the dell drivers, and still, i do not have the correct drivers. When i opened device manager, under other devices, it has a yellow question mark beside 802.11 n WLAN, and Network controller.
I didn`t see any VEN or DEV numbers for the wireless USB Wlan, but, i did see one under Network controller:
PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_9066&SUBSYS_4C001385
And the brand for the USB Adapter is from ralink.

Re: Problem with network adapters
Hi,
Do you have two wireless cards installed?
The ID you gave (PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_9066&SUBSYS_4C001385)
points to a Netgear WG311v2. Here is a link with a picture and download
http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2565
This is a PCI wireless lan adapter and is installed in one of your PCI slots within the tower
You may have it installed but missing the antenna, so take a look.
It will not work well without the antenna
And you also post you have a Ralink USB Adapter.
What is the model number?

Re: Problem with network adapters
I don`t know what the model number is....but, i can perhaps show you what it looks like, here:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51W6-cSvDgL.jpg
And, i think the netgear wireless card was for the previous wireless card we had, and it looked just like the one in the picture. But now, we have one like the one in the picture is just posted.....and my brother says it`s a ralink wireless USB adapter....but, i`m not sure.

Re: Problem with network adapters
Hi,
Without knowing the model number or Hardware ID I can only guess.
See if this driver will work:
http://www.ralinktech.com/license_u...GOHdNakV5TURsZk1DNHhMakF1TkRaZlJuSmxaUT09Qw==
Enter your name and e-mail address at the bottom of the page.
Did you try to install the netgear adapter?
Drivers are on the same link I posted above.

Re: Problem with network adapters
Sorry for the late reply....anyways, the download didn`t work. I`ll try and look for the model number. But, that link i showed in my previous post shows the exact type of wireless device that i have....so, maybe that can help?

Re: Problem with network adapters
Hi,
With the device connected to the computer
Open the Device Manager
Select View>Show hidden devices
Look for errors (yellow ! or Red x)
Also look for a Unkown device under USB Devices
Post all errors with the Hardware ID.

Re: Problem with network adapters
there is a yellow question mark beside 802.11 n WLAN, but, that was already visible. When i first pluged the usb wireless device, it said the usual new hardware found, and then said 802.11 n WLAN. It says 802.11b/g on the device itself. And also, on the back, it says 2010, and has the numbers, in two rows, from 1 through 12. Maybe that may help you somewhat?

Re: Problem with network adapters
Yeah....because i remember you helping someone else with this same problem, and you said something about searching on google using the device id #m, or something like that. I was able to find it after that. And again, thanks for the help....i am finally up and running.
