Yellow Mark on Linsky Network Adaptor

[MapleE.]

Hi:
There is a 'yellow' exclamation mark on Linsky Adaptor on Device Manager. I
installed the Linsky Adaptor about two months ago when I purchased a new PC
with Vista. Hence, there is NO Internet Connection. Prior to this,
Connection was sporadic, but not this magnitude, completely stopped working.

I did 'un-install,' and 're-install' by using an original CD, however it
says, ... 'Driver' is something missing or the like.

Wonder how to correct the problem, 'Exclamation Mark' on Network/Linsky
Adaptor? Other PCs have Internet Connection, even though one of PCs has the
exact same Linsky Adaptor.

Thanks for any help on this regard.

So what your saying is this?
The NIC card hasn't worked since you installed it, and installing the
drivers from the manufactors CD are not accepted? CORRECT?

if so I would think your NIC card is bad from the manufactor, this sometimes
happens, get a new NIC card.

I wonder about the steps you took to install the NIC, Usually you install
the drivers first, then physically install the card, is this what the
instructions said to do, and did you do it this way??

Thanks both for the response.

NIC Card is perfectly OK.
I'm talking about Wireless Network Adaptor which has 'yellow' exclamation
mark on it when I looked at Device Manager. Also, I suspect it's because of
Adaptor when there is NO Internet Connection.

Probably, I should be better to use 'wired' by hooking-up directly with
Modem/Router, rather Wireless Adaptor?

Any suggestions on this would be very grateful.

Thanks,

I don't understand your comment "Also, I suspect it's because of Adaptor
when there is NO Internet Connection.". Exactly what are you trying to say
because it makes no sense to me.

You stated you had sparadic connection prior to installing Linksys, so what
type of connection wired or wireless?

 

[MapleE.]

Thanks for the response.

Currently, there are 5 PCs Internet Connection in my entire household.

Two of five PCs are 'wired' connection and other, 3 PCs are 'Wireless.'
One of 'wireless' connection has an issue, ... got 'yellow' exclamation mark
when I looked at Device Manager that causing 'No' Internet Connection. Now,
as seeing that this PC has been 'sporadic' Internet Connection prior to this
happen, then I started to think of 'wired,' instead of using Linsky
Wireless-G Adaptor.

Your opinion and suggestions would be truly appreciated.

MY statement still stands unanswered............you did install the Vista
drivers for your Wireless Network Card???
you went thru the wireless setup routine ??
and under Services the Wireless Zero Configuration is started??

Peter:
I did every possible way to connect and get Internet. Practically, I spent
all day long from late morning to mid-nite yesterday in my attempt to
successful connection. However, for some reason I couldn't do that.

In the past, on other new PC with Vista, I successfully connected, but this
time, with this PC with Vista, I completely failed.

This afternoon, I went to a local PC store asking whether I should stick to
Wireless-route, sales/tech. Guy told me, ... Wired Route is much easier
along with a good security. Then, I purchased 50-ft. wire and now enjoying
a good Internet connection. Only thing I do not like is so-much wire
building up on my large desk, ... but I can live with it, ... seeing that I
got at least a good Internet connection.

For me, to make a long story short, ... I got to like 'Wired' rather than
'Wireless' as knowing that route is much easier and safer.

If you have a yellow exclamation mark next to your wireless network card in
Device Manager then you can spend the next millennium trying to connect to
the internet using that device and you still won't get there. Until you
install the correct Vista drivers for that card it just plain won't work.

That's eactly a tech/sales guy at PC store warned me. I told him it's
Linsky Adaptor got 'yellow' exclamation mark, not network card inside the
PC. After he tried Linsky Adaptor, he told me the Adaptor has compatible
issue, then he recommend another one, 'Netgear Adaptor.'

However, I felt 'enough is enough' as knowing that I spent almost all day
long working on Internet Connection and still NO connectivity. Hence, I got
a 50-ft wire and installed it. Wired route is much easier and first of all,
'worry FREE' that I most care about, now.

Thanks for your concern.
