So I know enough to get me into real trouble and here I am. Got some time to help me get my PC up and running? Pretty Please!
I have a new Mobo (MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum), new cpu (AMD 64 3200), new RAM (2 gig.. yippee). I did the hardware install and that's where the trouble started.
What I have done...
- Installed Windows XP Pro (after having to disconnect everything except my master hard drive and master DVD/CD drive)
- Installed some of the utiltities that came with the mobo
What I can't get to work...
1. Connectivity to my home router
- When trying to re-install my D-Link Wireless PCI adapter, the system won't recognize the card even though the adapter power lights say it's working.
- After giving up on the wireless card, I tried connecting directly to my router via Ethernet cable and the onboard LAN port, which I also can't get to work.
Help PLEASE.. via online chat.. I have yahoo messenger running right now (12:30p PST on Monday) on the iMac sitting next to the PC in question.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
