Lack of ability to make up a wireless network WITHOUT an internetI used a dialup phone connection (no DSL) for years - always had trouble trying to find the 'correct' connection in the "Wizard" ( it doesn't exist !!!!). Now I have a usb wireless modem. For at least a year I used it and had my wireless internet (Not Linked!). If I wanted internet on a given computer I would have to move the wireless usb modem to that computer. I attempted to see if I could use my usb wireless in a wireless network capacity to see what happened. What happened is that now on one of the computers I have NO internet access because it thinks the usb wireless is my wireless network - hence (--" Both Ethernet and Wireless connections available, prompting user for selection ") is an error message I get. I cannot find my way back to getting my simple internet connection back! I reloaded the usb modem software. I've reinstalled IE. I've removed the Wireless router software. Still no effect! Thanks for your time and effort, Dan 171681 Daniel Will Labs HI
USB Wireless Modem is Not a common Device, it might be that you are mistaken in the way you use it. Please post the name and model of the Device, and what Internet source is. If the device has also a regular Ethernet connection than "ditch" the USB and start to use the Ethernet. Regular Network configuration should look like this, http://www.ezlan.net/router.jpg Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) Show quoteHide quote "Dan171681" <Dan171***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B244B848-ED11-4725-913B-E13501472A49@microsoft.com... > Lack of ability to make up a wireless network WITHOUT an internet > connection. > I used a dialup phone connection (no DSL) for years - always had trouble > trying to find the 'correct' connection in the "Wizard" ( it doesn't exist > !!!!). > > Now I have a usb wireless modem.

Further, what do you do that results in that error message (and please repeat it verbatim, without paraphrasing)? -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm
