Hi everybody, this is my first post so Im not really sure if I put this thread in the right place...
I recently purchased a dell dimension 3000 desktop and installed a D-link wireless card for a wireless internet network around the house. The computer appeared to be receiving the signals and so I assume that it is connected and working. However, my local area network keeps bubbling up and tells me that a network cable is unplugged, which is impossible because my network is wireless and my main computer, which the station is connected to is working perfectly. Then, I went to the network places and saw that one icon says "Local area network connection" (the one that says a network cable is unplugged) which has the x next to it and one says "Wireless network connection" and that one is connected. I right click on the "wireless network connection" and select "repair" and I can finally connect to the internet. But once I turn off my computer and turn it back on, the same thing happen (NO connection!) so I have to repeat this everytime I want to use the computer.
Please help
