Wireless Help with T42 2379

[marcicj]

Hi,

I hope someone here can help me. I re-installed Windows XP and now my t42 2379 wireless is not working. I have tried everything I have read on the web and nothing is working. Can someone please help?

Welcome to the forum!

What's the full 7-character model number - located on the same sticker on the bottom that holds the serial and production date - 2379-???

This would be the latest driver for your card:

You may want to download the Intel Pro Set wireless utility as well and see whether that helps.

Good luck.

Thank you, the driver did help along with downloading the service packs 2 and 3 for xp. The only problem I am having now is that sometimes it still searches for the network but it seems to work ok. Thank you for your help.
