Windows Vista, D-Link DWL 520+

[prx984]

i have a dlink dwl 520+ wireless B card. i have windows vista beta 2 build 5384. i have tried to install the card using the windows XP, 2000 drivers, and still nothing works. i cant get this card to load up right, it says it sees the networks, but it just will not connect to them.

i have read on the HCL for vista that this card does that, but i havent been able to find anything about it working on vista. if any one maybe knows how to get around this problem, id be so greatful.

below is the message i keep getting when trying to connect to a network:

thank you for reading this, cygnus

can't exactly get too technical with this, but i've had similar troubles with a Belkin Wireless G desktop card. it seems as though it doesn't support wireless internet just yet. for a couple seconds it did work for me, but the signal either dropped, or vista stopped it. best bet is just going LAN.

if i find a solution for it i'll post it, but right now LAN is Vista's hotspot.

>_< figures lol

i dont have a lan setup in my house, just wireless. the router is in the next room and the longest cable i have is a 15 foot. ill see what i can do, thanks for the reply though.

i had a setup going, to test it a while ago, i had a regular cat5 cable going in the back along with wireless internet [my wireless signal was 11.0Mbps, my LAN was 100Mbps] for about 15 or so seconds, the internet icon would flash between the LAN [two computers] and a set of bars, similar to that of a cellphone reception meter. after that, the signal dropped entirely, and i was stuck with only LAN. so, thats the best i can say on the matter.

i might just put XP back on this, but ill give it till the end of the activation time, which is 14 days, although, i might just go 2 or 3 because im going back to school soon and id like to have my computer fixed back up by then.
