Computer Help

[Luis III]

My computer does not recognize my Belkin Wireless card, please help me. I
have had the card installed at compusa and replaced by Belkin 3 times. The
tech help at compusa and Belkin said that they could not do anything to solve
the problem. I have a Compaq PC desktop w/Win XP, a partioned in 2 HD of a
total of 200 GB

An Excel spreadsheet won't be able to solve your problem.

Hi,

I'm afraid you're in the wrong newsgroup my friend. This is an EXCEL
newsgroup.

You might be able to chat with a technician here:

Good luck

Search google for tips--maybe even visit the Belkin web site and look for FAQs
or support.

If all else fails, return the hardware and get your money back.

Then try a different store that offers better support--or maybe a different
wireless option (USB???).

I'm sure the OP saw the Excel function NETWORKDAYS() and reasonably
assumed that Excel has something to do with networking ;-).

I'm with Dave Peterson on this one - except I'd jump ahead to step 2 after 3
attempts with 3 different cards and no success: return the card, get a
refund.

Try a different brand (I recommend Netgear or Linksys if you're price
conscious [ I use both {mostly Netgear} and they work as well as more
expensive 3Com or Intel cards]). While I have lots of faith in Belkin in
areas like UPS and even KVM switches, I don't think of them as a leader in
networking products.

Or go with the alternative hardware solution as Dave recommended (USB).

Here's a web site page where you can generally get good answers and help
about computer hardware problems in general. No registration required to
ask/participate, but accounts are free and don't generate spam (I've been
member there for over 7 yrs now) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/hwhelp Be
as specific as you have here: brand/specs of the computer and brand/model of
the card. If they decide it is actually a Windows problem (be sure to
mention version of Windows you're using also) - there's even a Microsoft Help
forum there with 2 Windows MVPs moderating it to make sure you get some kind
of help: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/microsoft

Good luck.
