I have a DSL connected desktop and my laptop has a wireless card. It was working but my motherboard died shortly after the hard drive crashed and I don’t want to have to pay Best Buy another $50 to get the wireless connection to work on the laptop again. It can’t be that difficult – I thought XP would figure this out automatically. What are the steps I should take? I can’t find any wireless connection settings to configure. Since my computer was wiped out – do I need to download some drivers for the card or additional software from somewhere? The instructions given in the Help Center are useless because I don’t have the selections they are telling me to click on. Help!
I’m using XP and the desktop is connected directly to a DSL box. So it’s entirely automatic for the laptop – it’s supposed to be. The laptop is the wireless machine it’s a "wonderful" Medion.

you might be required to install drivers for your wireless card. check the network card manufacturer’s name and model number and you can search from google for its driver. to avoid worms and viruses, try to search on manufacturer’s website.
information about your wireless card can be found by right clicking my computer>properties>hardware>device manager too.
if you still cannot do that check out at www.drivershq.com and scan your system (PS for this step you must be connected to the internet from the same computer, laptop in this case). you said you have a dsl, give it a shot. i guess that helps

Can you change your Verizon Wireless family plan to a lower amount of minutes and with no extra add ons (phone insurance, text, etc) with not renewing your contract for another two years?

I have a few more months with Verion and I’m at my wits end with them! I wanna switch to T-mobile but I would need to make my Verizon Family plan as low cost as possible. Any other ideas?

Yes, Verizon Wireless is the only wireless company to allow you to change your calling plan without penalty. Just make sure you are at the right amount of minutes for the time of month. Meaning, if you are 3 days into your cycle, and you have already used like 450 minutes…then you will get billed additional fees for changing. The Verizon representative on the phone will be very nice and will explain the situation to you before switching.

I created a wireless connection for my router on my windows xp with "Wireless Network Setup Wizard" and i made that connection without a password and i have been trying to figure out how to delete that connection. I Also try to make a new one but it doesn’t work. I also tried on my laptop to put a password on it but then it says its an unsecured connection. any help?

The ‘Wireless Network Connection’ cannot be deleted as it is the part of the network configuration.To secure the wireless network you have to access the router page and create a password over it so as if you connect it with wireless it will ask for the password.

How much do you pay per month?
How do you pay?
Is it worth it?
Plus can you just buy any verizon wireless phone and just use the pay-as-you go service from verizon wireless?
Thanks.

I use Verizon Prepay. It costs $30 per month plus 10C a minute. I have been very happy with their service as I travel a lot and don’t pay near the roaming charges. You do have to use one of their prepay phones but they have a large selection of different types including high end.

I REALLY want a LG dare for my birthday and it is in one month. But it cost $170 and my parents would only buy it for $150 or less. Is there going to be a sale soon? Or is there a Coupon code that actually works? Please let me know and thank you!

Well, I don’t think there will be. But couldn’t you pay for the remainder ($20) or if someone else in your family gives you a gift or money, pay for the remainder with that.
BTW: 150 is a lot, so if they say no, be thankful that they are willing to spend that much. My parents only spend about $40 on me. After all my family gives me money, I have about $120. Your lucky.
Either way, good luck!
