Re: R51 Connection Issues

Hi,

 

Just got a R51 laptop which was not working to great and would not connect to my wireless network/router.

 

So i formatted the harddrive and re-loaded win xp. Now the built in wifi does not work at all. I have downloaded just about every driver from the Lenovo website to do with the wifi, installed them all and still no luck.

 

I then found my old pcmcia card and installed that (ZyXEL - ZyAIR). That finds my router can connect but if i try to start IE it says that I am not connected. When I check the status of the connection, I can see the Sent/Recieved figures going up and it says that I am connected.

 

It is tghe basic level of win xp as I have not been able to connect to the internet yet to perform any of the windows updates etc or install any of the service packs.

 

What have i done wrong?

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Bas
