I have a laptop a dell inspiron 1100 and after i reinstalled window there is no wireless network on the computer and the internet connections are all messed up so I have no internet on it any ideas how to fix?
When you reinstalled the OS did you install your wireless network card?
do you have the dell cd’s? There should be a driver disk.
I tried reinstalling the drivers off the disk and the ones for the wireless and nothing? They have ones for dell network cards but im pretty sure this laptop doesnt have a internal card I have tried all them. Maybe the correct on is on the windows cd?
What version windows? I doubt a generic windows driver will work. IS this card internal or cardbus?
windows xp. the driver disk has drivers for wireless but none of them work and i think those are maybe for a different model and those say internal dell card or something like that. Im pretty sure this is cardbus
plug into a wire and go to windows update. it should give you a driver that will work.

If it’s cardbus, pull the card out and see what manuf. is written on it.
Its a netgear card and I know it works since it works on my other laptop
Ok so its a PCMCIA card? What model? Download that models driver and install and it will work.
