unable to get on the internet on vista with my dual boot system

[lezliz]

H i

my system was wired initially and i had no problem getting on either xp or vista.At a later date i switched to wireless as i needed to move the pc,i was using a belkin wireless adapter for this but was unable to get on vista.I have tried to download the latest drivers for the adapter using xp and dowloading to a memory stick which was ok till i tried to put it on

vista nothing happened.After getting really fed up i decided go back to wired, no joy.

When i plug the ethernet cable into the router the light flashes and i get the message

cable unplugged. I made sure i had deactivated the wireless mode so it cant be that.

so at present i am stuck with the belkin which only allows me to get on xp.

I hope someone can help cheers les.

Can you tell us what the full model number of the Belkin Wireless Adaptor please, just so we know what one it is... ;-)

Hi makcalable

The no. is FCC ID: K7S F5D7051. i hope that makes sense.

cheers les.

Ok for the F5D7051 Wireless G Plus USB Adapter latest drivers see here http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3029/~/f5d7051-wireless-g-plus-usb-adapter---software-and-drivers

 

Now for your router have you tried to reset it by holding in the reset button for around 20 seconds while switched on and leave it for 5 minutes to regulate. you may need to find the ethernet controller driver too.

 

I hope I am understanding you here.... you have been using the wireless adaptor but now reverted back to the router??

Hi makcalable, yes i have moved my pc back t o its original position so i could connect wired as before i moved it i had no problem with either xp or vista. but as i said when iconnect the ethernet cable the liight just flashes and i get the message cable unplugged .i really would prefer my system to be wired if only it would work. ihave not done any thing with the router do suggest i do and what specifically.

cheers les.
