Internet Problem

[JacksonJack]

I have just bought a new computer, but it doesnt have the slot for a D Link adapter card which i want to use with it so i can connect to my houses internet. Is there anyway around this?

Thank you

run the system profile; you should find an on-board adaptor.
you're SOL if not.

Sounds like your slots are PCI-e, and you old D-Link card is a regular PCI card? Do you have any further information about what type of connection these 2 make?

Oh, so it's a laptop, and using the PCMCIA slot. That's a different story.

If it does not have a slot for this, then you won't be able to use it, and you might need to look for a USB enabled wireless device.

The new computer is a real computer not a laptop. I also have a laptop that the card does fit into.

What are they devices called and how much?

if you do not have a PCI slot, then you will be forced to use an external USB device or an ethernet device
