Connecting to a Wireless Network in Microsoft
Your wireless network card requires specific software and drivers in order to connect to a network. The
software is already installed. If the software is removed or corrupted, follow the instructions included
in the user's guide for your wireless network card. The user's guide is located on your Drivers and
Utilities CD (that came with your computer) in the "User's Guides-Network User's Guides" category.
The user's guide is also available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
