I am trying to get a Dell Inspron Laptop reconnected to the net.

I have run Winsock fix etc to get reconnected. I have connected a
Hawking USB device to send this message and to get tall the Windows XP
updates.

Both Wireless and wireless conection fail.

Wired - shows network cable unplugged with cable plugged in. There are
no updates to Broadcom 440x 10/100 controller.
When I right click, I get options - disbale, bridge and properties. I
am running TCP/IP
How do I get the fixed?

No virus and spyware - all fixed. I have added ZA free and Avast AV.

thanks

Windows XP media center on Dell Inspiron E1505. Under network
connections, I right click on wired, it says disable not enable.
Wireless says the same. Wireless sees wireless network, but doesness
connect. It won't even connect to an open network. I am tryung to
connect either to DSL or Cable. Wireless/Wired cards are Broadcom
440x.

thanks

Hi
When the right click on the Network Card says Disable it means that the card
is currently enable and it gives you the option to Disable it.
So make sure that the Wire says Enable (I.e it is in state of Disable), and
that the Wireless says Disable (I.e it currently Enabled), and try to
connect while the security is Off in the Router and the computer.
In general.
