Network card and Dell Dimension 4550 (533MhzFSB)

The geniuses out there know if its possible to install a wireless network card full to a desktop Dell Dimension 4550? Or would a Wireless N USB network adapter will work better? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Rather than having to connect to a modem and all that fun jazz.

I don't know what you mean by a "full" wireless network card, but if you can install an adapter wireless integrated (as one of THEM), depends on whether you have an empty expansion slot (and what kind of accommodation).  You can either open the case and look; Read the documentation that came with your computer; or go HERE and enter your service tag (you will need to use Internet Explorer, if you want to try the 'Analyzer' online to detect your current configuration.

My suggestion, however, would be to go with a USB wireless adapter, one who has a fairly long USB cable preference so that you can get out the antenna located between the back of the computer and the wall.  Following the same reasoning, if you decide to use an internal adapter, try to find one with a removable antenna, so that you will be able to get an extension of antenna and put the antenna in a place better than behind the computer.

Be aware that if you get a N (internal or external) wireless adapter, you won't get a flow and speed wireless-N if you connect to a Wireless N router/access point.

  • Unable to connect to the internet with the NETWORK card and Windows Millennium Edition.

    Hello

    I turned on my old computer yesterday, who has installed Windows Millennium Edition. At the back of the computer is an Ethernet port which is marked as LIEN ACT. The NIC with this port is Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Internet Adapter. I spend two hours on the Internet configuration and I did and finally got connected, but then, a few hours after, something went wrong and the Internet and the NETWORK card has stopped working! And the card has disappeared from the Device Manager, but he's still showing in network in Control Panel. I opened the computer and I reconnected it to the slot, but it did not help. At the back of the computer next to this port are two LEDs - green indicates the power that lights up when I plug the Internet cable and the other orange indicates actual connection. But now these two LEDs are not indicating something even when I plugged in the cable to the Internet, which comes from my router. In the computer a Dial Up connection PCI is installed too, but I disabled it. I used Dial-Up in 2002. So, I need help.
    But I know that I can connect with this Ethernet card to the Internet because it worked for 3 hours, I've loaded the pages and downloaded programs.
    Please don't point, should I upgrade Windows!
    Thank you.

  • I want to know if we can add more than one network card and maximum how we can add?

    Well, if I want to add a network card or two at - it a possiblity of external cards containing those integrated? If so what to do with it?

    This would be only limited by the number of slots or ports for the cards.  What exactly are you trying to accomplish?  These types of configurations are generally only used on servers and, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the use of multiple network cards usually leads to two simultaneous situations:

    HP Elitebook 8540w, model WH137AW #ABA - this laptop and was previously running a trial version of windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I wanted to install windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I chose to install instead of upgrade that I assumed that the demo version was not expandable. Before the installation, I was able to connect to a wireless network with success. After you have installed windows 7 ultimate successfully, I was more able to connect or see all the networks. The diagnosis error indicates that I can miss a network card, or if I don't have one, the driver may need to be reinstalled. I saw a previous post and answer that looked very similar, but the difference is that I am out of my network card driver, so I'm not able to download any other drivers. -help me please!

    Yes... you can do. If you get confused on what to install, please provide the hardware ID.

  • My Windows 7 computer is no more can detect the wired network, but all my other wireless and wireline devices connect very well. Replace the network card and no change.

    Hello!  This morning my Windows 7 (the motherboard Acer) desktop ceased to recognize the wired connection to its network card.  In other words, it shows kind of connection, but notes "no Internet access.  It connects to a surfboard by Motorola through one Ooma hub, although I encounter the same problem when I connect to the desktop directly to the surfboard.  All other devices Wi-wired and that connect to the surfboard are functioning properly.

    Thinking that the Realtek NIC on the motherboard Asus was the problem, I installed a new Trendnet network interface card in the PCI slot.  I disabled the network card to the motherboard via the BIOS settings.  No change.  Always 'no Internet access.

    Time Warner Cable test the modem from their office and said it was working properly.  I also connected a laptop directly to the surf board using the same cable, and he was able to connect to the internet.

    Can someone help me understand what the problem is?  Thank you!

    You have McAfee? McAfee has been updated at the same time as the last batch of updates from Windows 7 and this is the cause of problems of internet connection for most, if not all, users of McAfee.

    See the communication from this "criticism" - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.

    I had to run the removal of McAfee Development tool a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction.

  • Fusion on Mac Pro - dedicate a guest only NETWORK card (and have the OS ignore)

    As the subject says. Such a thing is possible?

    I don't know if I'm looking in all the wrong places, or just to ask the question properly.

    Here's what I was wondering:

    I have a Mac Pro with two network adapters. I want to use one for the host (OS X) and the other only for the guest OS. And using it for the guest OS, I want OS x to ignore it completely.

    If possible, how to apply such a facility?

    1 OS X > system preferences > network > Hardware icon > set order of Service

    • In the Service order worksheet, have the NIC priority placing the card NETWORK to use for the host at the top of the list, followed by the NETWORK card dedicated to the virtual machine, and then click OK.

    2 OS X > System Preferences > network

    • Select the card NETWORK dedicated to the virtual machine, and then to configure IPv4: stop selection, then click on apply.
    • Then to configure IPv4: check the DHCP with manual address.
    • Then for IP address: use a reserved address of 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 IANA Internet Assigned Numbers Authority () and then click on apply.  It's the range of addresses for the automatic private IP addressing, which normally would be affected if the NETWORK adapter does not have a connection but not to worry, it will be... only for the bridge of VMware which will be defined in the next step.

    3 target Virtual Machine settings > network adapter > Bridged Networking, select the NETWORK adapter chosen for the use of the dedicated virtual computer.

    • Now the Virtual Machine will acquire its network router for the LAN Host Configuration information, or you can assign an address appropriate static IP, mask, subnet, gateway and DNS server IP addresses in the configuration of NIC in the guest OS if you wish.

    Note: If this doesn't work for you, even if as described, it works for me, you may need to manually select to configure IPv4: and use a reserved in the meantime address previously mentioned with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask while providing the appropriate Host router LAN Gateway and IP addresses of the DNS servers.

    Another problem can occur if using a WiFi NIC dedicated to the virtual machine, some WiFi routers will not fill several IP addresses to the same MAC address.   If this is the case for you, then you will have to use wired Ethernet for NETWORK adapter dedicated to the virtual machine!

  • Double network card and 2 networks

    Hello!

    We have networks, 10.247.148.0/23, and 10.148.0.0/24

    We also have 2 physical network cards on our computers. Is it possible to have two networks on these computers?

    We want that the first person to be the ip address for the local operating system and the other one only availible for virtual machines (VMWare Workstation)

    Without any special configuration, we get problems on the local operating system (Windows 7) because it does not know where the packages sendt when using local network programs installed on the computer.

    So, is it possible to make this work with VMWare Workstation 7.1.4? And if yes, could someone explain in detail how to do this?

    Use Bridged networking in the virtual machine settings and disable automatic bypass on VMnet0 and assign a specific NETWORK adapter in the virtual network Editor.  If you do not want to use this physical NETWORK adapter and just comments and then disable everything except full VMware Protocol on the host physical NETWORK card settings.

  • Replacement of a card mother Dell Dimension 3000 with a Dimension 4600 motherboard

    Recently I replaced my processor in my Dell Dimension 3000, however, at the start he always tells me that the processer is not supported by the Bios, so I still have to press F1 to start upward. I heard you can counter this is replacing the Board with a Board of a Dimension 4600 however, I know not what condition the Board of Directors must be in. Can I replace it with a Board of direct administration of a Dimension 4600 or what I need to get a referbished or the new Board of Directors?

    scprokop

    A work of a Dimension 4600 motherboard can be used, provided it is in a usable state.

    As the Dimension 4600 is obsolete for many years, I doubt there is very no new motherboards available, only the so-called "renovated" boards, which are 'pull system '.

  • Video card in Dell Dimension E520

    Can I put a GeForce 9800 GT 1 GB hybrid on a Dell Dimension E520? I just bought a 500 watt PSU, so I'm sure that I have enough power, but I'm not sure if it will run on an E520. I don't know if it will take place just because I don't know what is hybrid. But I read that the PCI Express 2.0 x 16 will work on motherboards with just the PCI Express x 16.

    I currently have a GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB.

  • Software exists for the creation of a 'virtual' network card and going to all the traffic on the local network through a proxy server, then by this adapter?

    I can access net through LAN and my college requires a proxy for all access to the internet. If you want to use the internet, it is impossible to do not use a proxy. This is a problem for many programs that do not seem to allow you to enter the proxy settings.

    any software is to create a 'virtual' network adapter that will pass all traffic network (or any protocol x traffic) through the proxy?

    So I have do not need to enter the proxy anywhere... and I have normal internet access.
    What I saw is possible with OpenVPN, but it is a vpn service that I need .i just want to use the feature. In OpenVPN I just enter my proxy server in its framework and OpenVPN to connect to a VPN service and routes all traffic to the FAUCET adapter after which I don't need to set the proxy address anywhere... so my idea is how can I use only the last part that is routing all my LAN traffic to a virtual card.

    Support the LAN---> proxy---> virtual adapter--->, then software I access the net

    That's what I like to do...

    Although I am facing this problem on Windows 7, solutions for all operating systems are welcome.

    P.S: Proxifier is not my solution to not offer something like this.

  • Configuration of network card and insulation HA response parameter

    On the new hosts as we were ordering, G7s 580 HP and 380 G8s, built in 1 GB network ports are single quad port cards.

    In the past I have always used the built in ports for the management network. The former hosts, 385G7s and 380G7s, they are divided in to two sets of two port adapters different bits of the motherboard, so I treated the two separate maps.

    Having my management connections plugged into one single card seems a bit risky. With the subsequent orders, I am now add an additional card so that I can team connections between built map and add it to the map.

    Given the lack of links management truly redundant on the hosts I already have what woild be the recommended response of insulation parameter? Leave it on?

    This seems to be the recommendation that I see with pulsations of currently used data store. Our storage connections do not use the same connection as the management network.

    I recommend "leave power" in your scenario. No need to hire no downtime when it is highly likely that the VMs will always can access to the disk and the network. (see table)
