Dell Pentium II 333 MHz

D-Link DWL-122 (USB)

Can't connect wireless; Get "media disconnected"

IPCONFIG says "media Disconnected.

The DWL-122 shows the power light ON and the "link" light flashing.

Tried a Linksys WUSB11 2.5 (with appropriate driver) couldn't connect
either.

Tried a hard wired NIC and it connects OK


I was not able to find help on D-link or MS' website.

Any help will appreciated
