Hi Jon, Try going to http://support.euro.dell.com Select the 'Support For Home Users' option, then select Drivers & Downloads. There should be an option to select your machine type, select Enter A Tag and enter the Service Tag of the machine (it should be written on the bottom of the machine, failing that you can probably find it in the BIOS). It should give you the drivers for exactly what in in your laptop, or at least what was in there when it was shipped by Dell. I'd hazard a guess if it's a Broadcom chipset then it is probably labelled as a Dell Wireless 1510 or 1397 Half Minicard. The driver for this can be found here: http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R219314.exe (it's 70MB!). Failing that, you could try the Intel driver (although I'd say it's probably unlikely to work): http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R214566.exe Hope this helps. Rob I'll try that Rob, thanks very much. I'll let you know how I get on... Jon. ...I got this; 'Error "setup.rul.380" has occoured and setup cannot continue' I've had this before with the machine. No idea what it means... Jon DAVEY. The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq I have got the laptop online using a R45 cable and a ubuntu live disk. Was just wondering what might be the best way fowards? The mobile light is now on aswell but when I tried to create a mobile connection I was asked for a provider. I kow this should be obvious, but they asked for a mobile provider like 3 or t-mobile. Which was confusing as I thought someone said that the WAN card could connect wirelessly to a router. Rob, it is a 'Broadcom' half minicard. I had to have a peek inside to find out but even armed with info I am still not progressing. I also now have the 'TAG'; it's ; 945KLK1 ...which also hasn't enabled me to make progress, yet. I'll get there in a minute.
