on one hand you say the card installed OK and on the other you say computer
says card not found..............well that's my understanding.

what pci card did you install and did it come with software.

how very coincidental, I fitted a generic card (£9) into MY sons desktop and
when he subscribed to Virgin (cable) the card would not pick up a good
signal.

I took it out and fitted a D Link DWL-G510 (£18) + its own software and all
works a treat...............

I have the same card in my home comp (BT Internet) and it to work fine.
