Hello, I have been using a wired network connection via a Linksys router (Windows XP) on this computer. Now I want to install a linksys wireless adapter. The installation runs fine, but Wireless Networking never shows up in Network Connections. Linksys tech support says it is a problem with my Windows. Short of reinstalling Windows, how can I make Wireless Networking available? Thanks
which wireless adapter exactly? do you have SP2 or SP3? some of the older wireless third party installs actually disable Windows built in wireless networking management tools and setup their own utility.
