You should be able to connect if the network card is enabled and working properly. Just do a search for Available Wireless Networks, Select your SSID and enter your security code. That said, you can use the Wired Ethernet as well, providing your wireless access point has ethernet ports on the device. Wired , of course, is faster.
Let me get my spanish going. There's no such thing as a Internet Driver. What is happening with your system? What happens when you click on Internet Explorer? You might have a connection problem instead of a driver problem.
I think you mean Network Driver. On the Dell Optiplex GX270 the NIC or Network Interface Card is standard on the computer. Every computer comes with one. So if you plug a network cable from your modem or router into the network card on the back of the computer it should light up if it's working. If it's not working you need to purchase a network card. Click Start/Control Panel/Network Connections and see if it says connected. If it does right click on it and select properties, then select the option near the bottom of the window that says "show icon in the notification area when connected" and click OK. Now if you look at the bottom right near the time you should see a computer with green lights on it. That means it's connected.
Assuming the card is there and lights up then that means your drivers are already loaded. But if by some freak chance they were not there you'll need an internet connection to go to google and type in the search "dell support" ( without the quotes). Look for drivers and downloads. Give it your computer model Dell Optiplex GX270 and your operating system. Download and install the driver.
If your connected to the internet there is only 1 logical solotion why your network cable is unpluged. You have a PCi wireless card installed. It will even function without an antena. Check the pack of your pc.
In order to connect to the Internet, you need the following things:
- an Internet service provider (ISP) - a network interface card (NIC) or modem - a cable to connect from the NIC or modem to the jack in the wall where your Internet service comes in
Do you have all of these three things? What type of Internet service do you have? (ie. cable, dial-up, DSL, etc.)
Most desktops need to be connected with a wire to your network because most desktop computers do not come with a wireless NIC (network interface card). If you are not sure if yours has one you can get your service tag off of your computer and type it in the Dell website (link below) under drivers and downloads and look at the original configuration for your system. If you have a Wireless NIC card in your desktop it should connect just like your laptop computers did. If not you may have a defective wireless card.
Go into the device manager and make sure where it says network adapters that it has either your wireless network card installed or your ethernet card installed. If not then you need to download the drivers and install them.
If the drivers are installed then its either going to be a problem with the internet connection from your ISP or a problem with the network card itself.
