Won't Connect to the Internet

Came with a wired card which we replaced with a Ralink Wireless adapter. I'm thinking it's a programming error.

I could 'flip my lips' all day, or just post videos..............

'A picture is worth a thousand words', they say.

(IF the wireless router does NOT have a Modem built-in, you need an external Modem. Yes, even with the internal modem installed in the desktop computer)

With a wireless connection, your PC can connect wirelessly to a network printer. In addition, you can set up your PC in a location where no phone line or cable connection exists. Outfitting your desktop to a wireless Internet connection is very easy. Just follow these simple steps and you'll be surfing the net wirelessly in a matter of minutes.
Find out if wireless Internet reception exists where your computer is located. If you're located very close to a W-iFi hotspot, like a coffee shop, you may be able to use this network to get wireless Internet for desktop PCs. Also, some apartment complexes and college dorms have free wireless Internet. Your neighbors may have wireless Internet too, which you can ask them if you can use. Buy a wireless network adapter for your desktop. You can obtain an adapter from most electronic stores. Be sure to get a wireless adapter with the proper strength, which depends on how far you are from the wireless hotspot. The easiest adapters to install are those that just plug into an available USB port. Set up your wireless Internet for your desktop PC according to the instructions that came with the wireless adapter. The usual procedure is to plug the wireless adapter into an available USB port. Windows will install the appropriate driver. After your PC recognizes the wireless adapter, select the "Connections" icon in the taskbar (represented by vertical bars). A list of available connections will appear. Select the desired connection. If you are prompted for a password, enter the appropriate password. Click "Connect." You are subsequently connected to a wireless network. Launch your browser and enjoy surfing the Internet wirelessly. If you are the owner of the wireless network, secure your wireless network with a password. To do so, navigate to the "Start" menu and select the "Control Panel." Then select "Network and Internet" and "Network and Sharing Center." Click "Change adapter settings" in the left pane. Double-click the icon of the appropriate wireless connection. The Wireless Network Connection status window appears. Click the "Wireless Properties" button. Select the "Security" tab and select an encryption type from the drop-down selection. Enter a password in the Network security key field. Make sure that the password matches the router settings. Press "OK" when done. Get a wireless internet router for your Internet connection if there is no wireless Internet already in your area. You can buy these online, or at electronic stores. You'll need to set up your router using the accompanying instructions and your own Internet service provider. This is best in a home with multiple computers.
You will have to open up your network connections Click start control panel network connections this may vary depending on your operating system look for local area connection if you see a red x or a yellow exclamation or question mark ! ? you will need to update or install the driver or it could be firewalled, If you are trying to connect through a modem/router you it should have come with a disk then you might have to connect the usb lead to your modem to get a connection then Click start control panel administration tools computer management device manager scroll to network adapters should see a yellow question ? exclamation mark ! or a red X right click install drivers. The driver might be on the disc supplied by your ISP internet service provider or the motherboard disc Click start type cmd press enter you will be in DOS mode type in ipconfig press enter you will see all o fyour internet connection details type in your default gateway adress into your internet search should read something like 10.0.0.138 Make sure you Ethernet/internet is enabled in bios restart your computer during the boot up process you will see on your screen a certain key to press to enter set up (BIOS) press and hold that key to enter bios using arrow keys navigate to integrated peripherals look for SiS On Chip Pci Device press enter scroll to SiS 10/100m press enter make sure its "Enabled"imake

Try enabling windows zero configuration, and using the windows wireless connection manager.

There should be an option in the ralink program to enable the feature, after that push the button and click refresh wireless networks or the refresh button.
If nothing happens or no wireless network are found try it again.

If nothing happens the second time your wireless card needs to be replaced you can consult your service manual at the hp support site for more info

Ralink wireless lan card not exist

Hey Fixya, why do you allow people to posts **** like this? mobalzarichi, chill the f*** out spaz. You getting your panties in a bundle won't help solve the problem. That said you probably have a hardware problem and *gasp* will have to buy a new adapter if it is out of warranty.

Ralink wireless lan card not exist

You have to remove the PCI card or USB from the computer, uninstall the software. Reboot, now install the software. Power off computer. Install network card or USB, then power on computer.

The key is that you have to install software before installing hardware.

Cannot make a wireless connection between a sagem router and a ralink wireless mini card 802.11g

  1. Make sure that your wireless mini card is properly installed into your computer. You can check the status of your wireless adapter by going to Control Panel>System>Device Manager. Then go to Network adapters and look for ralink wireless mini card. Right click on it and click properties then look for device status. It should state there, Device is working properly. Otherwise, there is a problem in the installation of the adapter.
  2. Then, verify the wireless settings that are enabled in your router by accessing your router's setup page.
  3. Take note of the SSID or wireless network name and the security enabled in your router.
  4. Configure your computer that has the wireless adapter with the same wireless settings in your router.
Hope this helps!
