Hi.
You know if the machine has a network card by refering to device manager -
Network cards. You should see the RJ45 socket on the back of the computer,
possibly on the motherboard just next to sound/video ports?
The Vigor if at defaults will allow any wireless client to connect, so by
installing the software for the USB card (assumed you got two Draytek cards
when you purchased the router)? It should pick up a wireless network with the
SSID of default. It will just connect and give you no prompting for password
etc, and assign you a address from the DHCP server, you can then go to
http://192.168.1.1 and follow prompts to get ADSL up and running, then
fine-tune the wireless settings to encrypt/limit connections to authorised
devices etc.
Andrew.

Hi,
Is there a way of telling whether my computer has a
network card inside.
I have just bought a wireless router, Draytek Vigor,
one recommended on this list. However, I was told I
did not need a network card, as I bought two USB
connectors. However, I can't get the thing to work,
I have no internet access at present, and I can't get
it to find my daughter's computer, which is what I
needed to link to.
Any assistance greatly received.
Sharon
