OK-- are you talking about simply connecting one computer to a home network, or setting up wireless network in general? If there is a wireless adapter in the PC and you already have a wireless network, the adapter will list all the networks in your proximity, and you choose yours. I can go into greater detail with that when I see your response.
Thanks

if you have windows 98 boot disk put that in, the firt thing you do is to go to f-disk and change the partions in it, then format c: drive. take out disk in A drive put in New windows XP CD and restart. the disk will run and install itself. and thats it. right now your partions are set to read only windows 95, 98, there are 2 options to choose from I belive the one you need is 32.

Hi tross202;
Is that an original XP home edition installer? You may try another cd installer if you can secure one.

SOURCE: Laptop Cannot Find Home Wireless Network

Try logging into the router with your desktop hard-wired and find the 25-digit passcode and use that to log on to the wireless network with the laptop. If not, then check if connection is good by hard-wiring the router to the laptop. Let me know what happens or if you have solved the problem.

I have a Gigabyte GN-WPKG 802.11g/b Wireless adaptor, but I don't know how to set it up to recieve internet. Can anyone give me instructions? I have Windows XP Professional Home edition.
With the hardware installed you also need to insure that the drivers have been installed. You will need to use the software that came with it or use windows wireless zero configuration application with your wireless router.

Asus 802.11 a/b/g wireless adapter problem
The problem could be with the wireless network that you are trying to access, or it has something to do with you wireless card tcp/ip protocol.

where you using the same computer now, when you had this issue with the vista? or is this win XP pc that you have now is a different computer?

if you are getting limited or no connectivity, that means that the access point (wireless signal) is not giving you a valid IP address.

you can try to add static to your IP settings, but this will only work if you knew the IP range of that network that you are trying to access.

please provide more info

About wi-fi
Windows XP has a built in wifi configuration tool, previous versions of windows dont have this feature. But if you were to buy a wireless card it comes with software for wireless to work on all versions of windows from 98 - XP most if not all new laptops have wifi built in & that will be able to share your broadband connection through the netgear router. You can configure the laptop & pc to share files & printer between each other, easy way of doing that is by using the wireless network setup wizard which can be found in Start -> All Prograns -> Accessories -> Communications -> Wireless Network Setup Wizard.

Try to setup home wireless network to share two home computer
Connect the home wireless network router box to the main PC through an ethernet cable with the PC powered off and the home wireless router powered off, then power on the PC & the router. Vista should locate the new wireless network and follow the windows vista network setup procedures. After the wireless network has been detected you then while the second PC's power is shut off you connect dongle adapter to the PC power on and XP will locate the new adapter. You will probably have to enter your networks pin for the connection.
Get back to me when you complete these steps.
