The Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility locates, manages and provides information about wireless networks in your area.

Enable the utility through an icon in the notification area of your desktop, or locate it in the programs list depending on which Dell computer you have.

Turn on the Dell laptop and make sure the wireless switch is in the "On" position.
Right-click the utility icon in the notification area of your desktop.
The icon appears as a set of four green, yellow, red or white bars, depending on the signal strength in your area.


Click "Enable Radio."


Right-click the icon and click "Open Utility" to open the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility.

Manufacturer in this case is Dell so you need to contact Dell Support

TRY REINSTALLING THE WLAN DRIVER. OR CHECK THE INTERNAL ANTENA CABLES OF WLAN. IF IT NOT WORKS. THEN THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE IT WITH THE WLAN CARD.
DONT FORGET TO VOTE.

Try Deleting the wireless card from Device Manager.

Beware though, if you do this all your wireless settings, such as network names and keys,will probably be deleted as well.

Then right click on the name of your computer and click scan for changes and that will then reinstall the card. Can't say it will help but it's woth a shot.

try to uninstall the driver and reinstall it this will serve as a new installed hardware.

The 1390 WLAN Minicard may not be configured to communicate with your wireless router.
Check the wireless router settings, (check the wireless settings on your other computer) and configure the 1390 WLAN with the same settings eg. SSID, WEP/WAP encryption, etc.
Is MAC address filtering enabled on your wireless router, if so add the MAC address of the 1390 WLAN to the MAC address list in the wireless router.

Check the TCP/IP properties of the 1390 WLAN card the Internet protocol should not have a fixed IP address, set it to Obtain an IP address automatically including the DNS.

Use the Ipconfig command to see the IP configuration of the network cards.

Use the Ping command to see if you can communicate with wireless router.

Did you input the WEP key? I will assume you are using Windows XP. So go to control panel, network connections and then go to the wireless connection and then select view wireless connections double click on the one with the highest strength, which should be your 2wire. When it asks for the network security key type in the numbers that are located on the sticker on the bottom of your router between the [########] brackets.

I have been working with Dell on this problem for quite some time. They tried replacing drivers, uninstalling and re-installing the card, replacing the card with a new one, etc, etc. Nothing worked. Sooner or later the error came back. Their last "fix" was to suggest that I restore the system to factory default condition and start all over again. I refused to do this. I had spent over 8 months adding software, tweaking it and windows, etc. They basically threw up their hands and gave up.

The Dell tech who replaced the card tried the solution noted here and "supposedly" it was fixed. A few weeks later the error came back.

So... I still don't have a fix for this problem.

If anyone finds one please let me know.

I'll check back here periodically.

Thanx,

Randy
