Hi All,
I built a new computer with no wireless card since it sits right next to my router. My previous computer (XP) I had hooked up directly with an ethernet cable, which I intended with my new computer (Vista 64). But when I try to find the network to add the computer it can't find the existing network (it's kind of on its own network) and says I need a wireless card. I know I could just add a card or adapter, but just was wondering if there is a way that someone knows how to add this computer to the existing network via ethernet connection.
Thanks,
Larry
