Hi,
I've got a new computer set up:
Dell w/Pent 4
Windows XP
Roadrunner Internet
and a brand new Linksys Wireless-G router. The box says it's easy to set up!
The guy at Best Buys didn't mention buying a Network Adapter, but the minimum requirements on the box says I need one. I've connected the router to the internet modem successfully; and there is a cable connecting the PC to the router. What's the problem?!
The set up software pops up with a message that I need to check the connection betwn the PC and the router, or press the router's reset button. I've done both, but still nada.
Is it because of lack of adapter? How do I check the system to find a built-in adapter, or am I wasting time looking since wireless adapters aren't a standard piece of equipment on new systems?
The site behind my desk is already a fire hazard with all of the cables and plugs. How many more gadgets will I need to plug in?
Any help would be appreciated,
O
