Hi Brucemph,

I just physically fixed a dell with the same problem. Dell installs a wireless configuration software that will auto configure the wireless adapter in the event there is a "Conflict". It basically disables the default card. Look at the programs you have installed and find the Dell Wireless program. Open it and select the default wireless card that is installed on the laptop. Once that is selected, go to your network connection, right click on the network adapter choose properties, select internet protocol, right mouse click, properties and make sure the box is checked that say's obtain ip address automatically.

Let me know how you do.

Dell V510 printer worked fine wirelessly until we got a new Belkin Router

The printer's IP address most likely needs to be changed.
Check the Belkin's IP address range (it maybe 192.168.2.***) and configure the printer's IP address accordingly.

Dell Inspiron 8600 Wireless connection driver Problem

I would check network connections in your control panel first and make sure your wireless connection is enabled. Next I would go to System in control panel and then go to device manager and check to see if the drive for the wireless is installed. May want to try here for the Driver download.

I bought my sister a Dell laptop that didn't have a dial up modem in it, never saw one that didn't have one.
Dell sells a dial up modem that goes into the usb port for about $35, which I sent to her and it works. Basically it is just an external dial up modem.
Give it a try, just call the dell help phone number.
