Wireless Internet

[rvds619]

My friend has a d-link Di-624 router. And i installed XP on his computer for him and the d-link is supposed to work with windows Xp but....it doesnt i dont know how many times i went through troubleshooting and re-installing. (i followed the directions as far as i could) but the computor says "Will not Function (Code 10)" Does anyone have an idea of what i should do? (besides change OS)

how come ur installing a router on windows xp?? a router does not need to be installed on windows (drivers) cause it is just something on the network which the pc can't see. not unless ur installing a wireless card as well. then you would need to install it. i know with wireless cards u need to install the drivers first (i have no idea y) and then install the card. but i also know with wireless cards the drivers are not signatured by XP but don't worry about that just say yes. also get the lastest drivers from www.dlink.com

dlink does not update drivers and yes it is a eithernet card. But it wont work i have installed the drivers first but i guess it just doesnt like it.

have you tried the windows uodate page. i know that had it for a wireless card it was also a dlink

yhea for some reason it wont let us update it is weird plus you kinda need the internet in the first place to update cause during the update instalation you have to connect to microsoft.com

is a code 10 a conflict of hardware??? cause if it is might be conflicting with your network card or modem. have you updated all ur windows (service pack 1) cause i know there were some probs with wireless??? also wot is the card you are using???
