The Dlink instructions CLEARLY STATE that you MUST install the drivers
BEFORE you install the card.

You need to remove the card from your network properties, restart, reinstall
the drivers, shutdown and install the card, and then XP will find the card.
This works for me every time.

if you 'upgraded' to xp over me you will have problems.
under control panel/device manager etc, remove/uninstall ALL network
hardware & protocol services.
shut the pc down.
reboot, let it settle. log in with admin rights.then shutdown

put back the wireless card.
install the software.
it might work then.
if not.
reboot again.
if TCP/IP has not gone back on automatically, then put it back, set to auto
DHCP/auto ip ad
then reboot again

I went to the manual hardware set up screen to select the DLink card from
the list of hardware and DLink isn't listed at all. DLink's instructions on
their web site simply say that XP will detect the card when the software is
installed, which it didn't. What can I do to make this work? Thanks
