Deleting a Network?

Hi,

After trying to install a wireless card in a laptop and a D-Link Broadband
Router in a network I found I was given the wrong card. The computer shop
gave me the correct card and told me to uninstall anything I did with the
incorrect one. The incorrect one was not a D-Link card. It was given to me
by an inexperienced employee.

I thought it would be a simple thing, just use Add/Remove programs, but
there is nothing there and I can't seem to find anything to remove. So I
went ahead and installed the drivers and the card now works. I have
wireless internet on my laptop.

But in the little icon in the tray it shows 2 networks, Nework 1 inactive
and Network 2 Active.

I would just like to remove everything related to this (No.1) and reinstall
the network fresh but how can I make sure "network 1" is gone, and also I
have concerns I might have messed with something that could later compromise
security while I was _desparately trying everything_ for hours on end trying
to make the wrong card work.

Any ideas please?
 
does the worng card (ie the precious incoreesct one) show
up in -contol panel-netrok connections - or in -netwrok
places-vew network connections? if so just delte it but
rem to delete the right card
 
I knew I'd forget something :-/ I looked there, and all I can see is the
same items that were there before. There's also other screens with settings
about a 'default' network, but if that were it wouldn't there be default 1
or default 2,
I know that sounds silly, but wouldn;t there be two of them.

Will be back later tonight.

Thanks

Well, I don't know, Jason. I was fooling around with it last night and even
though it was showing Wireless 1 inactive and Wireless 2 active, everything
seems to work okay. I was surprised, but I was able to do printing from the
laptop thru the main computer to which the printer is connected. Also was
able to access and manipulate files that were in the Shared Docs folders on
the main computer with the laptop.

I've also set the WEP encription to 128 bit and the two computers are still
talking to each other. I think I'm just going to leave well enough alone.

I still have to set the firewall up in the D-Link router though. That's
today's project.

Thanks for replying.
