Beerkex'd Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Many people just post their laptop model name and expect other people to look these things up for them. Don't be one of those people. What kind of network hardware does your laptop have? Post brand and model name.

Beerkex'd Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nobody can help you with your problem if you don't post the make and model of your network hardware. And for calling me a jerk, that's the last you'll hear from me.

infiniter Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Uhm, why don't you just tell your network hardware? You told anything else that's unimportant. If you need to find out, have a look into the tech specs manual of your PC or use a tool like SANDRA.

DevGrousis Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 that link sounds like money! only thing is i dont know how to do what those directions say to do ;( thats like telling a person who's never seen a car to take out fuel injector and replace it with another lol ;D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161578-cannot-connect-to-the-internet/#findComment-1130985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it can be done without it but there is no easy way. You might just want to find a compatible card and put it in it should make you life much easier.

GimmeRed Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 oh ok! maybe thats my best bet, huh? well what the best way to figure out what a compatible card is? Just click on the OSX86 wiki on the top of this page and look over the compatible hardware list. I've never mess with it on a desktop so I can't be of much help.
