So I have a desktop and am trying to get it connect to the internet. I have a wireless adapter connected but the computer doesn't seem to pick it up at all. I am not sure if the computer isn't picking up the adapter or if the adapter just doesn't work as I can't even get a network connections list (just local). The network itself works just fine. If anyone could help me out, I have a 2002 windows xp.
It seems that your network adapter is not working fine, means that you have not installed the drivers or may not have installed the correct drivers. First thing I wanna know the wireless adapter is connected to the PCI slot or onboard wirless and If that is a PCI slot, may the slot is not working fine, just insert the wireless adapter in other PCI slots. Check whether working fine or not.
After that one check the model number of the wireless adapter and download the latest drivers as you are using windows xp and it may not contain the pre installed drivers, you need to download the latest drivers and your wireless network should not be in hidden mode.
One more thing is that assign a WPA2 key the wireless network for the secure connection, if not it will become a open network.
