[e digicons]:karma:[/e] Hi folks, I have a problem that's been bugging me for weeks..... I recently reinstalled my Window's 7. When it came to the question about allowing WiFi connections on my PC I answered no. Cuz I have a PC. Why would I need WiFi??? 
Well as life would have it I am now in a position where I can only get WiFi to get on the internet where I'm living. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
I have tried everything I can think of but, still can't get that darn pc connection to accept anything. It doesn't even acknowledge that it exists....{wifi}
If anyone can help I will be such a happy gal!!!!!!!!!! I have to go to the library to access the internet so, if I dont't answer right away know that it's not my fault and will reply as soon as possible.
Thanks for your time.
Anna

Odds are, you'll never use dial-up. It's sloooooooooooow, my brother has to use it where he lives and it's no fun at all.

If you have a wireless USB adapter, it should pick up wireless signals just fine if it is installed and configured correctly. Putting it on an extension cable that move it closer to the signal does not hurt either. On mine all I did was plug it in and Windows 7 configured it itself, all I had to do was connect to the wireless connection after that.

I've heard of how slow dial up is. Yikes We find the patience when we have to though. Pretty resilient. Also I have a cat5 cable but no I believe no phone jack.
And Happy New Year to you Doc.

Cat5 cable needs no phone jack. It uses a port that looks like a phone jack, only bigger.

Just something quick to say I installed a D-Link Xtreme N Desktop PCI Adapter last friday. Not sure why it's working only now but, I 'll take it.

Fixed!! Yay I had to uninstall the D-link drivers and replaced them with Window 7's. Voila
Again thank-you for your help everyone.
