if you goto control panel-network and internet connections- internet connections do you see a option for wireless in there?

Pick a task:
set up or change a network connection
create a network at your workplace
set up or change your home or small office network
or pick a control panel icon:
Internet options Network connections
If I click on the icon on the bottom of the screen to connect to a network, it gives me two options....Broadband, and LAN or Highspeed Internet.
Under Broadband, it says
"Disconnected, firewalled
WAN Minniport (PPPOE)"
It won't let me connect toeither one. When I ran the set up disk, I didn't unplug anything....
Any ideas??
Thanks for responding.
And under LAN or Highspeed Internet, it says
"Local Area Connection
Network Cable Unplugged
3Com 3C920 Integrarted fast..."

After reinstalling windows did you get all the Drivers installed.
Right-click my computer > choose properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager
Look under Network Adapter and tell what is listed.
Do you have any entries labeled "Other Devices"
If the wireless router is close to the desktop computer you will need to connect a ethernet cable from the router to the desktop.

First off, go to "Start" then "Run" and type in devmgmt.msc then hit OK. Is there anything there that has a yellow exclamation point?
no... no explanation points... but there is a yellow question mark next to "Other Devices" and "Network Controller".

I do have "Other Devies". So, I need to connect the ethernet cable to the desk top? Right? What cable is that? Is it the one with the Linksys? Can you tell me what it lloks like, and where to connect it too? Sorry, but I am not very computer literate....
