    first, use the Device Mgr to disable the 1394 device:: that's a Firewire connection, not ethernet.

    then WIRE a connection to your router and get that running.

    we'll address WiFi once WIRED is working

    Hi there, again
    Thanxs, but i got it to work, signal excellent. I disabled the local area connection. and the wireless
    network adapter is connected. I do not what I did . I could not find a switch to turn on so I clicked on keybd button marked en and pressed F2 and I set IP address manually, but when I went back to check the IP address I found it changed to obtain ip address automatically. However my other laptop has a very good signal and the one that I just connected has an excellent signal, and both are the same distance from the host PC, ????
