hi, i'm trying to get my brother's pc up and running. how can i tell if it has inbuilt wireless technology?

thanks

Try the following as possible sources of details on potentially available wireless networking (Wireless often appears in the wording if you have that option. Google the "adapter name" in quotes if still unsure.):

• Device Manager>Network Adapters
  
  
• Command Prompt (RUN>cmd):
  Type IPCONFIG /ALL at the command prompt

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : no-domain-set.aliant
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.xx.198
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.xx.1

In the above example on my desktop it say I have an 'ethernet adapter' which is wired and therefore not wireless.

one of the adaptors is nvidia nforce mcp networking controller and the other is Microsoft 1394 net adaptor

i'm not sure if either of them are wireless. would it say in the the divice manager if they were?

Another source of info on existing available adapters (enabled/disabled, etc.):

XP: My Computer>My network places>View network connections

one of the adaptors is nvidia nforce mcp networking controller and the other is Microsoft 1394 net adaptor

Neither are wireless.

this is what comes up

Thanks
