Thank you very much for your answer. The main thing to know is that I
do not need to run router installation for the second time.
I tried to get an answer to this question from ISP support boys, but
they are Indian and I am Russian, - we do not quite understand each
other.
You are so right - It is a difficult task! The computer was assembled
in 1997. Pentium 2. During the years it was updated now and then.
Windows 2000 now. It has became increasingly funny. Recently MS
Explorer refused to work. Just stopped finding any DNS servers and no
help from the ISP and the Internet community could help. I had to
switch to FireFox.
I do understand that I need a new one and they are very cheap now.
I'll probably shall leave it in piece, shall not try getting it to
work wirelessly and shall buy a new one as soon as. After all I have
one computer to connect to the Internet. Just that it is so
interesting: how much one can get from old things?
The PC recognises the wireless adapter. In Control Panel - Hardware -
it is written that the "device works properly". Adapter's signal
lights - both: link and activity - are very busy all the time, what
does it do?
Thank you very much for your help. |
